Many Ways to Criticize Others Constructively without Hurting

Criticizing other people in hurtful ways is a good way to obtain enemies, so what ways can we offer criticism that gets heard by people in a constructive, helpful way? What are some true ways to seek helpful advice when you need it?

Recognize and compliment the good in other people. Note that you are criticizing a small thing in a big project/organization/etc. Realize the good before touching on the not good parts.

Be specific on the offering of your suggestions for improvement. Don't let your ego get in the way of explaining in full detail the good and the bad of a project or organization. Make sure to be specific and offer the best advice.
