11 tips for dealing with criticism

Good Article. Constructive criticism is one of the most valuable forms of communication regarding your work and ongoing success that you can receive. It is good to get a fresh perspective, a second opinion, a new look at a challenge. Especially if you are too close to your work. This is why doctors and lawyers make many treatment and strategy decisions by committee. Negative criticism is abusive, causes hostility in the workplace, and should not be tolerated. It should not be part of the corporate culture to call people names, put them down, denegrate them; and I know it is hard to believe, in 2009, but it happens.

Verbal abuse is abuse. It is just as damaging as any other type of abuse.

I welcome constructive, positive criticism. As long as it is that. I consider myself to have pretty thick skin. I still have a hard time with taking criticism from those that do it simply for the satisfaction of making others feel inadequate or ridiculed. This is a great post. It is inevitable, you will be criticized, but it is how you deal with it. Awesome.

suits me best,am so fragile.

it will surely helps me...

Really great article. I definitely hate being criticized. But depending on the situation--and who my critic is--after taking sometime to really examine the situation, I come to realize that the person may be right. He/she is only looking out for me and wanting to make sure that we're all on the same page in order to get the task completed. While no one likes to be criticized--sometimes it's for our own good.

great article!

Well, this rings bell in me.
I do not talk very much and hesitate to criticize others' fault.
What I cannot accept is that some people are too interfering in the name of CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. So I examine myself again and again to clarify that my criticism is right and right for the criticized. It is very difficult for a person to accept croticism on onself. However it is extremely difficult to criticize and adivise others FAIRLY.

OK.
I am ready to confront criticism without hurting myself and the others.
Try me.

great post!!

So many people need to read this it's not even funny.

good post....I have learned it hardway...-:)

Little Late Than Never

"like a wet dog and keep wagging it's tail." The possesive pronoun here is "its", not "it's". The apostrophe is used to contract "it is", as in "it's poorly written". Thus, your sentence would read "wagging it is tail" the way it's written.

If you’re being rightly criticized, your ego needs to shake it off like a wet dog and keep wagging it's tail.

The word it's means it is. So you are saying the dog is wagging it is tale. The proper form is its, which naturally shows possession.

i love to hear more from you. thanks very much for your great support, it's more than food. keep it up dear!

Great article. I like the topic. It helps me

Constructive Criticism. "People" who use these words are quite iliterate. My "BOSS" did not make it out of the third grade, called me in (the first time to be called into an office after 49 years)whipped these two words on me. I was stunned. Here, I was making his coffee every morning before he blew into the office(drunk), and sending me out to get him food, reading the New York Times and stock market reports to him. Any person who critizes is a bully with very low self-esteem.
