A management consultant advised: "Employees are far more likely to act on feedback that is specific and tied to a concrete example than on feedback that is vague and general, such as simply being told to 'do better.'"

A manager tells one employee, "Your report last week was missing the sales figures for the West region; please include them next time," and tells another employee, "You need to do better on your reports." Based on the consultant's advice, which employee is more likely to act on the feedback?

  1. The employee told to "do better"
  2. The employee told about the missing sales figures
  3. Both employees equally
