Constructive criticism is feedback intended to help someone improve, delivered by identifying specific weaknesses alongside actionable suggestions rather than simply pointing out flaws. It is a core skill for managers, mentors, peer reviewers, and educators, who use it to guide performance improvement while preserving the recipient's motivation and trust. Effective delivery typically balances honesty with tact, focuses on behavior rather than character, and pairs critique with concrete next steps.
