Melinda French Gates has a 48-hour rule for criticizing employees. The billionaire philanthropist says it’s because ‘being clear is kind’

Melinda French Gates shared her secret formula for handling conflict at work. “If I’m unhappy with work you have done, you will hear from me within 48 hours,” French Gates told Bloomberg’s Leaders With Francine Lacqua podcast in March. “I’m not going to tell you right away, because I need time to think it through. “If I’m angry about something [I do this] to calm down,” she added. “That‘s on me.” This practice, she explained, is less about withholding criticism and more about delivering it with honesty, integrity, and grace.
