How to respond to criticism

It's hard not to agree that criticism is a necessary thing and even useful. But it's frustrating when people criticize you or your work. Sometimes you feel that the work performed is faulty. You are clearly unhappy, but while holding back his emotions. All this until a certain time...

To live in anticipation of "thrashing" unbearable: you're tense, frustrated loved ones, and avoiding socializing with colleagues.

And maybe you should take the initiative in their hands? Without waiting for a call "on the carpet", to invite criticism? A bold decision! But we have to act thoughtfully.





 

• If you have a trusting relationship with the boss, you can directly ask his opinion about the quality of your assignment. Otherwise it is much wiser to contact a colleague whom you respect.
• No matter who you decide to go, carefully consider where and when you will start the conversation. Because the conversation will have confidential witnesses when it was not prescribed. So, no corridor, no Smoking room, no dining at the office as a place for communication will not work.

 

 

Pre-need to agree on time – after all the business discussion may be delayed. If the person will be nervously glancing at his watch, productive conversation will not work.

Thus, the critical conversation has begun. Immediately obezoruzhte opponent's recognition of his failure: "I was not totally satisfied with the work performed. I feel that the second partition does not have enough arguments some positions." And then ask a negative question: "do you think I should revise that content has become deeper and more compelling?" So you will receive criticism in a constructive way, will avoid conflict and will be able to correct their mistakes.

If your supervisor observes a strict chain of command, you have to be a good psychologist, not to spoil your mood (at least) and a career (as a maximum).

The proposed typology of chefs and tips on the proper handling of them will warn you of common mistakes in business communication.





 

"Patriarch" is firmly convinced that only he knows what is good for the firm. He is a professional. Playing the role of an obedient student, you will be able to develop their ideas.

 

"Amateur" incompetent, so long reminds subordinates of their slightest mistakes. To openly compete with him is dangerous: connecting your touch, he will declare war on you with all its consequences. One way out – either to maintain the appearance of loyalty, or leave.

"Despot" is weak and not confident, therefore, prefer to criticize subordinates before the big meeting. Statements like: "to Lead, not everyone can," "And still I was right" — can take him out of himself. Attack you will not defend. But arguing their ideas, unable to defend them. However, it does not avoid caustic comments. Do not show resentment or you will lose.

"Iron lady" of the cold, authoritarian, self-confident, Her horse – the intrigue and machinations, rigidity and stubbornness. To engage her in debate is useless. Your ambition and professionalism, combined with industrial progress is sure to attract her attention, and weaken the power of critical attacks.

"Big sister" - an adherent of collective teamwork. Criticizing the shortcomings in the work of subordinates, she never goes to the person, so do not be offended by comments – it is better entire energy to be channeled constructively.





"The best defense is a good offense" cannot be the motto of each day. It's a double-edged sword.
