171: Exchange your Destructive Criticism for Constructive Criticism Starting Now
The Saboteur of Success is Destructive Criticism. How can we exchange destructive criticism for constructive criticism? Here are 7 tips to start implementing today.
1. Protect the Individual's Self Esteem. Be gentle with your words and careful to not deflate the person you are speaking to.
2. Focus on the Future and Not the Past. Use words like "next time", "in the future", "today is a new day", etc.
3. Focus on the Behavior or the Performance and not the Person. Replace the word "you" with a description of the problem.
4. Use "I" Messages to Retain Ownership of Your Feelings. I feel (insert a word like angry, hurt, frustrated) when you do (insert problematic behavior).
5. Be Clear About What Needs to Change. Be specific, solution oriented, and decision based.
6. Offer to Help. Model the best behavior you expect from others. Serve others, care about others, and give help. Let them know they are not alone by saying "we" - here is what we are going to do.
7. Assume the Best about the Other Person.
We hope you enjoy these tips. Share them with your friends. We can all choose to be gentle with our words and be an encouragement to others.
