Positive Criticism

We all have the urge to respond hastily to someone who has made a careless or repeated error or offended us with a negatively critical comment, text, or email. This will usually lead to a fight, passive-aggressive behavior, or the end of any communication at all. We should examine our own tendency to criticize versus finding a positive way to provide feedback. We all react better to affirmation than reproach, and the results are often forward action versus a stopping point.
