Admonition Should Take Place One-On-One And Privately
| When I admonish or seek to correct someone, I must be sure of my facts and establish my objectives, the end results I want from having such conversations. I never get to admonish or correct when I am angry or wanting to "get even." The only results from selfishly motivated conversations are damaged relationships and potentially deep hurt to those on the receiving end.
Yet, when prepared thoughtfully and delivered with kindness (albeit sometimes firm kindness, ahem...) then admonition and correction can have great value and if appropriately delivered, can be the basis for important change.
Accordingly, write out the objectives of any conversation that is meant to be corrective.
Ask yourself, "How would I want to be told if someone had this message to deliver to me?" |
