Step 1

Acknowledge First

ការទទួលស្គាល់ជាមុន (The "Yes, but..." approach)

I see where you're coming from, but... ខ្ញុំយល់ពីអ្វីដែលអ្នកចង់មានន័យ ប៉ុន្តែ...

That's a valid point; however... នោះគឺជាចំណុចដ៏ត្រឹមត្រូវមួយ; ទោះជាយ៉ាងណាក៏ដោយ...

Step 2

Highlight Flaws

ការលើកឡើងពីចំណុចខ្វះខាតដោយស្ថាបនា

My main concern with this approach is... ក្តីបារម្ភចម្បងរបស់ខ្ញុំចំពោះវិធីសាស្ត្រនេះគឺ...

Have we fully considered the implications? តើយើងបានគិតគូរយ៉ាងហ្មត់ចត់ពីផលវិបាកហើយឬនៅ?

gavel The "You're Wrong" Trap!

Direct attacks destroy collaboration.

(ការវាយប្រហារដោយផ្ទាល់ដូចជាការប្រាប់គេថា "គំនិតនោះអន់ណាស់" នឹងបំផ្លាញកិច្ចសហការ។ ត្រូវប្រើពាក្យបន្ទន់ (Softeners) ជំនួសវិញ។)

"That's a bad idea." cancel

Aggressive & unprofessional.

"I have some reservations about..." check_circle

Diplomatic & constructive.
(ខ្ញុំមានការស្ទាក់ស្ទើរខ្លះចំពោះ...)

Hi Chea! Yes, but you must use additional "softeners". Before offering the critique, you could start with: "May I offer a different perspective?" This shows ultimate respect while still providing your C1-level insight. handshake

Sopheak Pich Teacher 4 hours ago

"Implications" refer to the possible future effects or results of an action. So asking "Have we fully considered the implications?" means "Have we thought about all the things that could go wrong if we do this?" analytics
