I used to be nervous about giving critical feedback about others, because I didn’t want to cause trouble for them. As a director, if I hear one thing from one person, but I don’t hear it from anyone else, I consider it a small issue. I’ll look into it and ask around if others are observing the same thing. If I see more corroborating evidence, only then will I consider acting on it. No one is exclusively responsible for the consequences coming from their feedback."
