I have been criticized in front of the team and the only thing it helped me do is start searching for a new job faster. It sounds like a good idea in theory but I would like to see a few more practical real life examples of how to make this work before I would dream of implementing something like this.

What do people think about offering first time criticisms in private? I've had pretty good results with employees by saying something like, "We have you here for a reason. We know that you're good. So far on this project you've been learning/on cruise control/ramping up/adjusting but we can't afford that now. Now is the time to produce."

If that doesn't work, then bring it up in a team meeting while focusing on the task rather than the person.
