Thursday's And Then Some Essay preview:
Delivering effective constructive criticism is an art
by Richard L. Weaver II

Excerpt:

Being critical is easy, and offering criticism is easier still. But, delivering effective constructive criticism, when compared with nagging, nit-picking, and negativity, is truly an art. Feedback is critical for everyone, and it can serve as a valuable lesson. When critics offer comments from a foundation of sensitivity, trust, and respect, when they refrain from arrogance, threat, and emotion, and when their intentions and expectations are clear, their criticism becomes most valuable, and the art becomes obvious.
