i like this idea of channeling and guiding one's misdirected gifting for a greater and better purpose :) this gives me some strategies for how to work with some staff in my department ;)

Tony, I think this is awesome a great way for a leader to not only deal with some of her/his weaknesses up front without feeling the need to be defensive while also empowering the critical mind to become a leader himself by contributing to the greater good. Patricia, unfortunately not everyone who dishes out can take it back...it's a weird thing.

Patricia, yes most flame throwers have pretty thick skin. Not all flame throwers are pessimist, I know some optimistic flame throwers too. A pessimist criticizes you from the back. An optimist criticizes you from the front!

Hey Tony, what would you say is the difference between the flamethrower and the pessimist? I've often thought that if the flamethrower can give it then they should be able to take it too.

I agree to constructive criticism but can't this go to far? Isn't there a point you tell critics to be quiet? I work in marketing and all the non-market flood my bos with their ideas even though they know nothing of marketing. It drives her nuts.

Boy this is good advice that I could have used 2 years ago at my last church.
