Its tough to call out someone in your group.

While those are both good instincts, internal criticism of the group is crucial to helping it grow.

As productivity writer Seth Godin explains, its very easy for us to slip into tribal mentalities.

Often well even shoot down internal criticism because its not being supportive enough.

People like us, we dont do things like that.

If you dont have anything positive to say, the group isnt likely to recognize that.

However, a little accountability within the group is nothing to shy away from.
