Quickly: 1. I agree that this is tricky! I think it can be quite tough to be critical, but as you point out, it can also be quite tough to be positive. 2. One challenge with being positive to those in power is that people can have a hard time believing it. Like, you might just be wanting to be liked. Of course, I assume most people would still recommend you being honest, its just can be hard for others to know how to trust it. Also, the situation obviously changes when you’re complementing people without power. (i.e. emerging/local leaders)
