People will inevitably make mistakes of one kind or another, and it is difficult for people to wake up in time when they make mistakes, and they are even unwilling to admit it.In this way, it is necessary for someone to correct the mistakes of others in a timely manner, and correcting the mistakes of others is an offending thing. Not everyone is willing to listen to and accept criticism from others.Some people do something wrong, not only will not admit it frankly, but will find various reasons to defend their mistakes.From the perspective of human psychology, even if it is a very small negligence or mistake, it is impossible for everyone to admit it frankly and without explanation after being corrected.However, in real life, it is impossible and unworkable not to criticize others, regardless of father and son, brothers, superiors and subordinates, colleagues, confidantes, and friends.

So, what kind of speaking method should be adopted when correcting others' mistakes that is easy to be accepted by the other party?The following methods are available for reference: First, we must have great sympathy for people, so that instead of finding fault with them, we will understand the reasons for their mistakes.Moreover, we must always think that we are friendly to each other, not hostile to him.

Fourth, when others have done wrong things, we must point out their inadequacies, but we must also greatly praise their merits.This can make the other party maintain psychological balance and be convinced. Fifth, when changing another person's opinion, it is best to try to transplant your own opinion to him unconsciously, so that he feels that he has corrected himself, not because of our criticism. Sixth, for other people's irreparable mistakes, we should stand on the standpoint of friends and give sincere and correct corrections so that they can correct their mistakes instead of severely questioning them.

Seventh, when correcting other people's mistakes, avoid using an imperative tone, and it is best to use a consultative tone. Eighth, point out the mistakes of others implicitly, in order to preserve the self-esteem of the other party and make him consciously correct his mistakes. Of course, there may be many ways to correct mistakes, but they are all about strategy. As long as we do this, we will be successful. Pointing out the mistakes of others bluntly will hurt the face of others, and you must pay attention to the methods and methods of correcting others' mistakes.
