Awesome article to read in the Jan-Feb 2014 Harvard Business Review - "Find the Coaching in Criticism - The Right Ways to Receive Feedback".
It outlines 6 ways to become a better receiver of feedback at your workplace (or in other areas of life). I'm going to scan this and e-mail it to our entire team.
The last 2 paragraphs of the article are AMAZING - read this:
"Criticism is never easy to take. Even when you know that it's essential to your development and you trust that the person delivering it wants you to succeed, it can activate psychological triggers. You might feel misjudged, ill-used, and sometimes threatened to your very core.
Your growth depends on your ability to pull value from criticism in spite of your natural responses and on your willingness to seek out even more advice and coaching from bosses, peers, and subordinates.
They may be good or bad at providing it, or they may have little time for it - but YOU are the most important factor in YOUR OWN development. If you're determined to learn from whatever feedback you get, no one can stop you!"
