How to Give Constructive Criticism Dale Carnegie Training ® The Coach's Corner Quick Success Tips from the Carnegie Coach We need to provide feedback to the people around us about the things that are done correctly and not correctly. Criticism is something that can be done in a positive way. 1. Begin with praise and appreciation. Tell the person honestly what he did right and you appreciate the contribution/hard work. Be specific on the good work. 2. Try to stay away from the word "but." Instead, change the word "but" to "and." You can say, "Great, you met today's deadline and now if you meet tomorrow's deadline we'll be on schedule." That's a subtle change with a big impact. You will be telling him what you want without criticizing him at all. 3. Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person. Many of us don't make mistakes today simply because we've made them in the past and learned from them. 4. Be honest. Tell him you see the potential in him and want to see him grow within the company. Tell him deadlines need to be met and he needs to keep up to date with you instead of the other way around.
