Appropriate Way to Give Feedback and Encourage the People.

Little Things You Know but Never Try to Apply.

In today's time, People doesn't know how to give feedback. They always give feedback in the form of criticism. Because of this definition of feedback has now changed to criticism. Now it has become a trend, if you take the feedback you will always criticise. People always criticise each other unnecessarily. Especially when it comes to creative ideas & innovation. As a results criticism kill our creativity and enthusiasm about work.
As we know in the brainstorming sessions, group discussions and meetings people defer the judgment and always try to find out flaws at any points. Sometimes it happens that people first deeply criticise the idea but then they give supportive and negative suggestion to improve that idea. In this way, the first try to kill the idea and then they try to support the idea.
This is not the appropriate approach to encourage and decline the people innovation and creativity. Every innovation, creative ideas have their unique flaws. History says without criticism people won't get success.
There are some smart ways to criticise the idea/innovation in a positive manner. So that inventor knows his mistake and tries to come up with the different prospects. So,

Here are the Appropriate Ways to Decline or Appreciate the Idea or Creativity.

1) Yes, But

Ex. Yes, your idea is appreciable but... 
As you can feel this approach always criticising people innovation, idea and feeling. Especially those who are inventors who dive into unexplored space. Because of the negative approach towards the idea, the great innovation gets killed.

2) Yes, and

Ex. Yes, your idea is appreciable and... you can also add this modification so that your idea would be better.
As you can feel, this synchronism gives a feeling of possessiveness. Also, create a notion of building ideas. With a positive feeling, your colleague understands their mistake and try to perceive the new proposal.

3) Yes but, and

This is a little more diplomatic approach. Because this combination includes positive criticism. In that, you first to speak out flaws in the idea and then suggest a possible way to overcome or avoid the flaws.
As per my knowledge, synchronism 3 is ideal for every situation situations. Because it will create real progress. Team or member can see both positive and negative components of their idea.
Following are do's and don'ts before approaching any idea and creative invention.
1)  When you have approached any idea, don't simply deny their idea. First, explain the weakness and proposed some improvement techniques to make it worthy
2)  Use appropriate synchronism when you don't understand the idea.
