Unfortunately most of people are perfect in giving feedback using the first method (destructive feedback) ;)
Now the questions, what are differences between constructive and destructive feedback?!
The following wonderful comparison explain some differences between two types of feedback
| Constructive feedback | Destructive feedback |
| Solves problems | Intensifies problems |
| Concentrates on behavior/performance | Concentrates on attitude / personality |
| Strengthens relationships | Damages relationships |
| Builds trust | Destroys trust |
| Is a two-way process | Is one way |
| Reduces stress and tension | Adds to stress and increases tension |
| Manages conflict | Causes conflict |
| Helps development | Obstructs development |
| Is assertive | Is aggressive or passively aggressive |
Mmmmm, great so I wonder how I can give constructive feedback to my colleagues.
Good question :) , simply there are some rules and steps you may follow to offer constructive feedback such as,
1. Start with positive
2. Be specific
3. Refer to the behavior that can be changed
4. Choose a good time for giving the feedback
5. Offer alternatives
6. Leaving the recipient with a choice
Sure the above steps are not everything to give good feedback, but it can help us to give constructive feedback.

many people i know uses constructive feedback, and that makes me worry alot.
when someone gives me a feedback about something and he starts by the good things i start doubting, untill he says the word "but" i know that this was the constructive feedback and the real bad opinion is coming in the way
mmmm, 3asha keda, always I'm trying to not use the word BUT while giving constructive feedback
