> I find some people just give feedback poorly and equate that to others not taking feedback.

Too true! I find it helps if I think of it as an engineering problem: "what can I say that will make these people not commit the same error again?" A bit dehumanizing and manipulative, but can be super effective at shifting away from blaming and belittling (almost never works), and towards mentoring.
