Talk about Your Own Mistakes before Criticizing the Other Person

Talk about Your Own Mistakes First

1. "She was susceptible to improvement"
2. It isn't nearly so difficult to listen to a recital of your faults if the person criticizing begins by humbly admitting that he, too, is far from impeccable.
3. Somehow this word doesn't look right. It's one of the words I always have had trouble with.
4. If you forget to praise before you condemn, do the next best thing. Praise after you criticize.
5. Talk about your own shortcomings and the superiority of the other person.
6. Admitting one's own mistakes-even when one hasn't corrected them-can help convince somebody to change his behavior.
7. A good leader follows this principle
