When to point out mistakes
#
Never #
- If it is one typo in some notes.
- In the middle of a presentation.
- Immediately after the presentation.
- If your only feedback is typo based.
- If you wouldn't have appreciated feedback at the given time.
- If something is not finished and you have not been asked to give feedback.
- If your feedback is feelings-based.
- If you are trying to impress someone.
- If the nerd alert is about to go off.
Sometimes #
- If there is one typo multiple times.
- If it's the one typo that always triggers you.
- If you have been asked to give feedback and you have more than typo based feedback.
- If the facts are wrong and you have triple checked that it is not you who are wrong or have misunderstood.
Always #
- If your name is on it.
- If your name is wrong.
- And especially if both apply.
