Sometimes Negative Feedback is Best

Blog / Produced by The High Calling

Avoiding negative feedback is both wrong-headed and dangerous. Wrong-headed because, when delivered the right way, at the right time, criticism is in fact highly motivating. Dangerous because without awareness of mistakes, no one can possibly improve. Staying "positive" when doling out feedback will only go so far. Harvard Business Review.
