Constructive Communication

How to Give It and How to Take It

There are two ways to give and receive criticism--constructively and destructively. Criticism given or received destructively leads to damaged relationships, unsolved problems, stress, and conflict. Constructive criticism can strengthen relationships, increase productivity, improve quality, and help solve problems.
