I can see the benefit. But ooooh so very scarey for one such as I who does not like (wait, I HATE) confrontation. Maybe we should try it. It’s a challenge. I can see the benefit.

But it's true that some type of program to promote teamwork is always needed within the workplace and I think it's the main reason this company hasn't suceeded as planned. Didn't realize it but my kid keeps his parents pretty grounded. Out of the mouth of babes and kids, too bad we have to grow up. This would have been an interesting project before the downsizing.

Each person had a 8x10 card with their name on it and we put them all on a table. Then we went around and wrote something on each person's card. To this day I cherish the things that people wrote about me. I would like to try the one with the faults! It would be good to see myself through someone else's eyes. http://walkaschildren.blogspot.com/ Several years ago the woman’s group at church did something different.

Our church staff just went thru something similar, only we focused on the positive aspects of each other. In my (18 yrs working in a church) experience, pastors/church leaders don't know how to deal well with "criticism", constructive or otherwise. They just don't teach that kind of thing in seminary or bible college. I'm definitely taking this idea back to our staff, as I think it would be a *very* helpful learning tool for us all.

I tend to dive deep inside myself and hide during reveals like this. I wish truly that I could take it in without feeling like someone is putting me down. Something to work on I guess.

I'm a former random visitor who is now (finally!) revealing herself, haha Just wanted to say that I absolutely love your photography, very inspiring! If I can afford to get my hands on a good camera I definitely aspire to get to your level! Thanks for sharing your life, hope you can find time to cruise on over to my (newborn) place on the web. :) God Bless Hi Ryan!

Would love to do this at home. Not sure at this point with my children if I can say anything right though no matter how I say it. Boy almost 17, girl 15, boy 7. Anyhelp with how to talk to teens bring it on:) I have done this in my place of work (when I used to work) it was a bit painfull for me.

Sometimes it is so hard to hear criticism, but it inspires growth! One of the biggest issues I am dealing with in my life is the gossip around me. I think so much backbiting would be avoided if people learned to openly speak their minds in situations as they occur in love. Thanks for the insight. This was a great post.

As with Naysway, when I was working, this type of review was implemented, with anonymous dagger throwing results. It's nice to see though this implemented as it should be, all in love.

So much garbage and sinning against one another can be avoided if we just openly engage in our brothers and sisters about areas of sin and encouraging one another in areas where we see God's grace on full display in our lives. It just humbles us and protects us from self-righteousness by giving us the perspective that those around us are in the same situation as we ourselves are... dead in our sin apart from Christ. Thanks for the helpful word! Hebrews 10 and Romans 3 come to mind. Kate - $#it sandwich is actually a reference to the movie Spinal Tap. It was a two-word review a critic gave to Spinal Tap's album Shark Sandwich. Hilarious! I’m so provoked and convicted by seeing your team doing this!
