If I have an opinion on why I think what any of my team members did wasn't the best direction, I try to ask leading questions to help them arrive at my underlying concern for why their solution isn't the best way forward. This way they get to do the thinking themselves which is good experience in itself, but also I find that they feel better about going back and fixing their solution than if I had just told them how to make it better
This is something I initially tried out because when I was junior and a senior would tell me "this isn't good because x,y,z" I would feel dumb for not already knowing things, but as I learned later, being senior isn't about knowing everything, it's about having learned to ask more/better questions (albeit questions that you learn to ask through experience). At least in some cases I find this to work well :)
I also really like @inhuofficial 's answer and will give this a try next time
Accessibility Specialist. I focus on ensuring content created, events held and company assets are as accessible as possible, for as many people as possible.
I like the leading questions bit! Much better to let people connect the dots themselves as they get a better picture of everything, rather than a "don't do that" without the why. ❤
