Upbraid GRE Vocabulary Flashcard

/ʌpˈbreɪd/ (verb)

to criticize someone strongly for doing something wrong, rebuke, censure, reproach, castigate, reprimand, chide, berate, admonish, scold, tell off, chastise, lecture, reprove

You should handle criticism of your employees with care. If you upbraid them vehemently, your employees may view you as a controlling perfectionist who cannot be pleased. However, if you do it right, they may view it as useful information that they need to grow with the company. Giving constructive criticism is a natural part of being a boss. If you avoid it because you fear looking like a bad manager, your employees won’t learn from their mistakes.
