@tatsuo.wisdom: Never correct someone in front of others. “To give someone your opinion and correct their faults is a great kindness… But to shame them is the same as speaking ill of them… First praise their good points and lift their spirits, so they take your words the way a thirsty man drinks water: that is how you correct a fault.” — Yamamoto Tsunetomo (1659-1719), Hagakure, Book One Talk to them alone. Start with what they do well. Then, gently, the mistake. Our translation from the original Japanese. #japanesewisdom #hagakure #leadership #kindness
