Constructive criticism

I appreciate constructive criticism. I really do not appreciate straight-up criticism. But if there's something I can learn or improve on, I am thankful when someone can (kindly) let me know. I'm also thankful for other people who can accept constructive criticism. I'm working hard to develop a good relationship with my employees. It's not easy. I don't always want to be the boss. But my employees are rockstars! They take constructive criticism and run with it! I'm thankful for them every day, but today I'm specifically thankful for their open minds and their willingness to be teachable.
