Criticism (part 1)

The challenge for leaders is wrapped up in how to give criticism. When giving criticism, leaders should be straightforward and honest, but tactful. Criticism serves to…
Show both weak and strong points.
Help us see ourselves the way others see us.
Provide suggestions for improvement.
Emphasize major or recurring faults, not to get even or vent emotion.
