How to Use Constructive Feedback
What is the one responsibility you probably avoid more than any other at work? Giving constructive feedback. Not giving constructive feedback is destructive. As long as you have constructive feedback to offer, you still believe things can improve. When you stop giving feedback, you have given up on your ability to think.

Accentuate the PositiveCONSULTANT JOYCE WEISS advises unmotivated salespeople to get out of their safe comfort zones. She also suggests that they reevaluate the way they do business.”When things aren’t going well, it’s easy to blame the marketplace or the economy. You have to stop whining.

Also, brainstorm for solutions.” Remember this quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Standing in your own sunshine causes most of the shadows in our life.”
