Hello all,

I loved reading this post about receiving and giving criticism, and I believe in that philosophy myself. I have no problem receiving constructive criticism for the actions I’ve done, but not everyone, and actually few people, think like me. The problem I encounter with giving and receiving criticism is with superiors. If you’re open and honest with a superior officer for the purpose of improving his/her performance, and (s)he perceives that as disrespectful, your career could wind up being driven into the ground before it even starts. What would y’all recommend for any LT that’s having the same concerns that I have?
