Constructive Crticism is a good ideal ... but sometimes hard to apply in a boss - employee

relationship.

My general suggestion is: If you want somebody to change things give her/him the impression that

it is them who want to change things, not you. It is always easier, and less detremental for a

person's self-esteem, to accept changes which arouse within oneself as compared to changes forced

from outside. The tricky part is how to make people belief that they want to change things - this

is up to your social skills.
