When a candid evaluation of others is seen simply as a series of compliments and insults, then that person is seen as unreliable and not capable of evolution or improvement. When we work with others, it is natural that we see some good in them and some bad in them. And if we are in a position of authority where we are meant to guide them, then naturally there will be times when we give them positive feedback and times when we give them negative feedback. Overall, our purpose is to help them become better.

And such people are very difficult to work with.
