Impact of criticism on creativity

Question
How does criticism impact the creative process? 
Answer
Criticism kills creativity. It's basic human nature that no one likes to be criticized or have their ideas criticized. A criticized individual will not be likely to contribute in a positive and productive way. The fear of critcism will stop the flow of ideas.

To foster creativity and innovation, criticism must be replaced with affirmative judgment.
