I agree that gentle honesty usually > brutal honesty! I agree that this is important and some people would actually do better by giving (negative) feedback less often and more carefully. Thanks for clarifying!
I just wanted to ask for brutal honesty for me specifically because I wanted to lower the amount of effort necessary to give me feedback and push towards clarity whenever there’s a trade-off between clarity and being gentle—but just for giving feedback to me in particular. I don’t endorse universally doing that for everyone.
