109/365 – “ Why do you give constructive criticism? “

I love both giving and receiving constructive criticism.

When receiving, I find that good criticism is the kind that leads to a tangible change in perspective or process.

When giving it – I’ve equally felt the reverse should be true too: Good criticism = Change of behavior.

But maybe that frame is wrong.

We can’t control the behavior of others, only ourselves – which means that the possibility for growth and learning also lies within ourselves.

Maybe a better measure for giving constructive criticism are the lessons we learn on how we want to behave in the future.
