Attention managers: the next time you need to inspire your team creatively, be more attentive to your employees' feelings when you deliver negative feedback (反馈).
Kim, who worked as a software engineer for Samsung after graduation from college, is familiar with having his creative work picked apart.“I personally hate hearing negative feedback as most people do and I wondered if it really improved my performance, particularly when it came to completing creative tasks.” In two studies, Kim found that negative feedback can help or prevent creativity.What is most important is where the criticism (批评) comes from.
When creative professionals or participants received criticism from a boss or a peer, they tended to be less creative in their later work.Interestingly, if a person received negative feedback from an employee of lower rank, they became more creative.
It makes sense that employees might feel threatened by criticism from their managers.Supervisors(监督员;管理者)have a lot of power in deciding promotions or pay raises.So negative feedback from a boss might cause career(职业) anxiety.It also stands to reason that feedback from a co­worker might also be received as threatening.We often compete with our peers for the same promotions and chances.
What Kim found most surprising was how criticism proved to improve supervisors through lessons learned from negative feedback that came from their followers (employees that they manage).
But we tend to believe we shouldn't criticize the boss, says Kim.“In reality, most supervisors don't detest negative feedback since they want to learn from it.Another reason is that they are in a natural power position and can deal with the discomfort of neg
ative feedback better.”
As for giving suggestions to employees, bosses should point out a follower's poor performance or weak points in time.But they should keep their feedback specific to tasks.Explain how the point they're discussing relates to only their task behavior, not to aspects of the person.Meanwhile, feedback receivers need to worry less when it comes to receiving criticism.

A.To work on his essays for graduation.
B.To have a better knowledge of criticism.
C.To call for understanding between workers.
D.To encourage a culture of criticism in the workplace.
5.What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A.What typical power supervisors possess.
B.What feedback can cause career anxieties.
C.How workers can have a good impression on bosses.
