colleen, i couldn’t agree more that feedback is very useful, when it’s truly given in the manner you suggest. it’s when it’s not constructive and given under the guise of “feedback” that i have a problem.

Criticism is a form of feedback and criticism can be construtive, if delivered well. Giving hard feedback is one type of communication that I see avoided all too often. It can be called different things, but serious talk needs to be encouraged. I agree with your beginning list, except for the first bullet point.

Oops, I mean fan. Would like to dialogue on your interesting input. Here's a few of my peeves when it comes to feedback: - Let's circle back on that (let's not and just address it now) - Socialize this (I get it, but hate it) - Great start (ugh, nice compliment but really saying it stinks) Great article Gran.
