Constructive feedback is a technique used in conversation to get beliefs out of people. This works great in group or collaborative conversations. It allows for everyone to be open, and engage in the conversation. This will enhance workplace behaviors, offer new perspectives, and identify weaknesses, which allows higher efficiency and innovation in teams. Constructive is mainly used to address inappropriate behaviors and fix them without causing any commotion.
