Problem with honesty? So - if I am a general F***-up, your form of diplomacy would be to come in and tell me how great I am ...?

When I played Highschool football during the summer, at first everyone hated our coach because he told us things (truth) we did not want to hear. At the end of the year, with one loss, we all loved him. He was a tough SOB, didn't always say things in a sensitive manner, but more important was that he cared and in the end we figured that out.
