Ever give or receive constructive criticism?

Question

...was it beneifical.

Answer 1

yes, i have both given and received constructive criticism/feedback

some of it was beneficial, some of it was not for the receiving end... for giving it, it was beneficial in that it helped me to express myself to people.. i often dont tell people what i really think..

Answer 2

It all depends on your mind set when you get it. Some times i find that constructive doesn't always mean what it says. I have found my self dwelling on someones opinion for too long and it affects me worse than the problem that the criticism was giving for. So as long as you have the ability to take it with a grain of salt you should be alright. The ability to give constructive criticism gets much better when you have received alot of it. Your delivery gets better and people are more receptive to it and it then actually serves up to its own example. Response seems better and everyone benefits. Teamwork is important with the criticism. If you haven't been there or don't know how to fix it keep your mouth shut. You will only make it worse for everyone.Hope i helped.

Answer 3

I give and like to receive constructive criticism.
There is no way you can improve an imperfection if you dont know about it so it is good to hear constructive criticism. It is good to give the criticism if you are saying it in a way to help a person, not ridicule.

Answer 4

Yes to both questions. And yes, on the receiving end at least, it was beneficial.

People don't give constructive criticism unless they care for you and want to see you do better. It means just what the word implies...constructive - to build (not tear down).

Answer 5

Yes to both.....and all the time.

I agree with fibr....it's beneficial if the giver genuinely wants to help and not harm.

I was helping a guy with his schoolwork because his reading isn't all that good, yet he tends to wait for me to say the answers to the questions.But he KNEW the answers already!He just didn't trust himself! He would tell me the answer and then ask if he was right....every-single-time.
So I told him he needed to work on building his self-confidence.Those answers were in his memory for a reason.
I stopped giving him the answers so he only had himself to rely on.I would just read the question and help him with spelling his answers out. He was ticked!I could see the steam coming out of his ears!
Yet , you should have seen him when he came back with those 80's and 90's. He was sooo proud because he knew that he had earned them himself!He held those papers up for me to see and flashed me a grin that rarely appears....then he walked off with his thuggish self.
His self-confidence is a lot better now-- not to mention ,his grades.

Answer 6

Off course, giving and receiving. It is only beneficial to the person receiving if they are open to criticism. It's beneficial to those giving it to improve the relationship with that person, or if the person given it feels he/she is helping that person.

Answer 7

Yes on both ends. Wish I could have an anonymous box for everyone to put in comments. Then I would do what I think is best, but consider their input.

Answer 8

Here's some constructive criticism - you should learn how to spell.

But seriously, I don't usually give criticism - people don't take it too well, as you will remember from your reaction just now and also, they never change. Nobody ever learns. That's just how people are. I do take criticism though, and try to improve from it.

Answer 9

always give constructive criticism/feedback, nature of my work. and yes, i receive it back, and sometimes the info is good. sometimes, it's bs. usually friends in the same line of work know how to approach it. lucky for me, or i'd walk away.

Answer 10

Yes to both. And yes it was beneficial both times - receiving and giving.
