2. Call attention to people’s mistakes indirectly.
3. Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.
4. Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
5. Let the other person save face.
6. Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement. Be “hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise”.

What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?
When people are dishonest and lie, it is a red flag. I lose respect for people that do this and I totally switch off. It is very hard to come back once people are dishonest to you and lie. You lose trust in people. Once you lose trust in people the relationship is over.
