Tread carefully with criticism.

Leos are sensitive and their feelings are easily hurt. Leo men hold themselves to high standards and have perfectionist tendencies, so they take criticism pretty personally. They aren’t totally closed off to feedback, though! Just take extra care with your delivery. As long as criticism is constructive and neutral, a Leo will take it in stride.^{[9]XResearch source}
- For example, instead of saying, “I can’t believe you’re late again. You’re always late!” you might try something like, “Is everything okay at work? They’ve been keeping you late every day this week.”

Support his endeavors.

If your man is spending a lot of time on a work project, give him space and quietly offer your support.^{[10]XResearch source}
