Constructive criticism should always be just that… constructive!
It can always be delivered in a loving but knowledgeable way that shows how much you actually care for that person. It is simply not necessary to be mean when delivering criticism. In fact the word “constructive” is defined as “serving a useful purpose; tending to build up” with synonyms such as “useful, helpful, productive, positive, encouraging, practical, valuable, profitable and worthwhile.”
Never talk down to your downline (nor anyone else for that matter). Always be positive in all that you say or do. You will find that most people are appreciative when someone they look up to cares enough about them to point out mistakes or inconsistencies in their work.
Remember, constructive does not equal negative but, rather, is positive and helpful.
