Hiding feedback ensures further problems.

Clear is kind, unclear is unkind.

—Brené Brown

Conflict is uncomfortable but necessary for growth. Easier to deliver with tactics to make the discussion productive.rB1 Teams may need help with this if artificial harmony is an issue. Giving feedback. Facilitating change might be better. Continued hiding can create resentment from unshared expectations. Clear is kind.
