In the family, at work, in any groups, there are times when the actions of one person do not suit another. In this case, a compromise search or constructive criticism is needed to correct the situation. It is important not to start cursing, but to change the circumstances in the best way.
The difference between constructive and ordinary criticism is that a solution for improvement is proposed. Moreover, all words are spoken softly, without the desire to offend. Often, in the end, help is offered to transform a situation or done business, and all this leads to harmonious relations.
Features of constructive criticism
Correct and useful criticism begins not with mistakes, but with praise. If a person has done something, it’s already good. First you need to find positive points, which was right, something to be proud of. If there is no such thing in the project, then you can find good qualities in the personality itself. Flattery is not appropriate, but with careful consideration, you can always find something positive.
Words are spoken not for the sake of humiliation, but for the sake of improving a person. Therefore, correctness is observed in expressions and images. Words are selected carefully so as not to offend. If a person feels aggression, he is not able to take advice, he begins to defend himself. That is why hard phrases and condemnation must be avoided.
To help a person to make him better and more productive, you need to explain to him what was wrong. Sometimes a person himself is not aware of his mistake, does not understand its consequences, it is worth paying attention to it, telling why it does not suit others. Constructive criticism gives such an opportunity, because one of its steps is a story about why all this is not perfect.
After such communication, there is no feeling of resentment or disappointment, I do not want to take revenge on the one who expressed his comments. It is immediately clear that this is not a method of emphasizing flaws, but a way to make a person better and more interesting. After such dialogues, relations do not deteriorate, but only become better.
