We are likely to have some discussions about if and when criticism is respectful and when it’s not. We <em>must</em> be able to speak directly when we disagree and when we think we need to improve. We cannot withhold hard truths. Doing so respectfully is hard, doing so when others don’t seem to be listening is harder, and hearing such comments when one is the recipient can be even harder still. We need to be honest and direct, as well as respectful.
我们可能会就批评是否展现尊重进行一些讨论。我们<em>必须</em>能在我们未有共识时，以及认为需改进时直言不讳。我们必须知无不言，言无不尽。在表达时要表现尊重的态度并不容易，在他人似乎没有聆听的情况下表现尊重的态度更不容易，听取他人的批评则是更更难。我们需要直言不讳，也需要表现尊重。
