Message: [QUOTE="SUintheVille, post: 3265190, member: 1024"] Constructive criticism is essential and it’s vital that the recipient is open to it and can self-reflect. But, principled leadership suggests starting with a positive or some praise then addressing issues at hand directly and seeking solutions. Blatant criticism, or being too negative or snarky often isn’t the way to properly motivate. Maybe some receive it better than others, but it gets old as one poster said. Now, if a person does something really bad, then yes, address the matter with vigor right away, but that’s not the issue here. Improvement is needed and pushing people farther than they think they can go is important. I just do it differently at work and it works. Sorry, my take. [/QUOTE]
