Chad Silverstein explains how to give feedback that people actually hear. Maintain a positive feedback ratio so criticism doesn't define your relationship. Own your own mistakes publicly first, then you earn the credibility to critique others. Leadership comes from acting like a leader before you have the title.

You know, it's important that you get your ratios right. That's the first thing, meaning that you have to make sure that the only time they hear from you is not when it's something bad, that you have to call them out. And that too, that you own your own issues first, so that if you're going to call other people out, you better make sure that they can't say, what about you? And if they see you calling yourself out, taking responsibility, showing a little bit of transparency and vulnerability with closing your integrity gaps, showing how you're increasing your performance, you know, what strategies you're pursuing, where you messed up and where you're repairing, then you have all the right to call people out. And as long as you do it from a good place because you care and you want to see people do well, you know, not maybe out of spite because it's a personal reason, then you should feel like you can step in and say something. And typically in most organizations, the way you earn a leadership role is when someone sees that you're acting like a leader without holding the title of a leader.
