“Sometimes the tightest teams are the most reluctant to do this, even when the feedback is clearly constructive, because they don’t want to risk the positive emotional environment that exists, which they probably value greatly. […] I’ve found that the most effective way to overcome this hesitance is to help people realize that when they fail to provide peers with constructive feedback they are letting them down personally.” (Patrick Lencioni, 5 Dysfunctions of a Team)
