How to Give Praise and Criticism Effectively
00:00:00.000 | Don't just say good job, but make sure you're telling the person specifically
00:00:04.700 | what was good and what they could do more of.
00:00:06.940 | Like the purpose of praise is to let them know what to do more of.
00:00:09.840 | In fact, if you think about radical candor as helping someone else scratch
00:00:14.400 | an itch on an unreachable spot in your back, you know, you got to say, yeah,
00:00:18.800 | that's good or no, that's not good.
00:00:20.600 | And you need to be able to say both.
00:00:22.100 | So praise is really important, but let's say this is not praise.
00:00:25.800 | This is a little criticism.
00:00:27.300 | You want to give someone who you love and who knows that you love them.
00:00:30.800 | Hopefully, you know them well enough to know how things land for them.
00:00:34.800 | So you want to go in, make sure that you're humble, that you're not sure
00:00:39.000 | you're right.
00:00:39.600 | To me, I call it candor and not the truth.
00:00:41.700 | Candor implies here's how I understand the situation.
00:00:45.000 | I'm also really curious to know how you understand the situation.
