Gentle Criticism
When you find it necessary to criticize another's work, these words by John Wanamaker should prove valuable: "Whatever you have to say to people be sure to say it in words that will cause them to smile and you will be on pretty safe ground. And when you do find it necessary to criticize someone, put your criticism in the form of a question which the other fellow is practically sure to have to answer in a manner that he becomes his own critic."
