If you point out 1 error the person may accept your feedback. If you point out 2 errors the person likely won't.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Think about it: what's your tolerance for criticism?

[As you consider that last question...Never mind what your logical mind is tricking you into thinking: what's your emotional tolerance for criticism?]

How much would the average person tolerate?

This person right in front of you - the one you are about to criticize - what's this person's tolerance?

Regardless - whatever you do - don't choose to deliver your criticism in doses of 5 or 4...or 3...or 2. [Stop at 1 or, better still, don't start.]

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Some people, oblivious to the impact of their approach to delegating tasks, just delegate what they delegate. 

Some people plan their delegation of tasks and adjust their approach to fit the person who will receive the delegation.

One of the above approaches breeds success; one of the above approaches bumps into success every once in a while.
