How to handle criticism at the workplace The capacity to handle criticism and grow from it is a very important aspect of success

Different types of criticisms Constructive vs. Destructive criticism Destructive criticism hurts an individual's self-esteem, causes psychological damage and renders him less effective. A good example of destructive criticism is if your boss tells you, "How could you make such a stupid mistake, what were you thinking? I don't know why I hired you in the first place.“ Why do you think some people criticize in this way? How should we handle this type of criticism?

Constructive criticism is the process of offering valid and well- reasoned opinions about the work of others, usually involving both positive and negative comments, in a friendly manner rather than an oppositional one. "Thanks for the report, I can see you put a lot of effort into it. However, I was hoping you could touch it up a little by summarizing it more and adding some graphs. The content is solid, but if you could make those changes, I would really appreciate it.“ How should we handle this type of criticism?
