Criticism

Constructive criticism can be very powerful.

Problem: It’s rarely used correctly and therefore criticism is often, dangerous:

Creates negative emotions.

Makes people feel inferior.

Injures pride.

Creates resentment.

I’m still working on this myself, but I’m learning that if I want a better outcome, I need to rely less on criticism and more on communication, thoughtful questions, metaphors, pausing, silence, examples, and patience.

Especially this time of year.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
