You should frame criticism as a question.
A question-based approach can turn feedback into a conversation.
People are more receptive to solutions when they feel part of the process.
Questions like “What could we do differently next time?”, “How might we improve this together?” and “What other approaches could we explore?” can work well.
And when feedback feels collaborative, it’s less likely to be met with resistance.
Constructive feedback can feel like criticism. But if you lead with a question, it can turn into collaboration.
It can become an opportunity to grow together.
