“ Withholding feedback is choosing comfort over growth. Staying silent deprives people of the opportunity to learn. In healthy relationships, honesty is care. ”

Sometimes, they pass it along without enough clarity and end up redoing it altogether. In all three cases, the outcome is the same. They…
