What's Wrong With Brutal Honest

You can give feedback in a brutal way, but often feedback in a brutal way is more about the brutality than it is about the feedback. Yeah, it's you're being harsh for the sake of being harsh. Yeah, I'm only going to do that if it's going to get the result. I'm not going to be brutal. That's where some people— you've probably heard me a thousand times where I could say the same thing, they're like, oh, if you said that to me, I'd slap him. But I'd never say that to you because I knew you'd slap me. If I say this to you, you're going to get motivated. I'm not aiming for the slap, I'm aiming to motivate you. So I'm going to use the tools that's appropriate to the person.
