The Five Essentials of Constructive Criticism
Reflections
Dr. Shehzad Saleem

 

Criticism comes to us naturally. It can be very constructive and can achieve the required goal if a certain decorum and etiquette is followed. Constructive criticism is a skill and an art that has to be learnt. Here are some points that may help us learn this art:

1. Every criticism should begin with the acknowledgement of the good traits in the person we intend to criticize. It will engender confidence and make us stand among the well-wishers of that person.

2. Criticism should be directly communicated to the person we intend to criticize instead of talking to others. Such indirect comments may hurt that person’s feelings when they become known and also create unnecessary gossip.

3. It is inappropriate to criticize a person for a mistake at the very time he is making it. This often creates a reaction in a person and also does not allow him the opportunity to calmly reflect on the substance of the critique.

4. Over-criticism or repetitive criticism should be avoided. More often than not it proves counter-productive to the very objective we have in mind.

5. Criticism should not be couched in harsh words and foul language. The most substantive criticism loses its impact if it is not conveyed in a polite manner. People shy away from callous words.
