• How to respond

We have received criticism! ... What now?

Criticism is not always easy on the ears and can be hard to accept sometimes, especially when you've put a lot of work into your task, just to hear you could've done better.

Important is to stay calm and take a closer look at the message. Leave the tone the sentence may carry out and look at what is actually being said, try to form it into a tip and use it as a point for improvement.

When responding to criticism, you want to thank the person and tell them you'll keep it in mind in your own words.

• Offensive criticism

Sometimes it may occur that someone provides( uncalled for) criticism in a way that's less than nice.

If you feel gratitude isn't in order, because the criticism was given, for example, in a very rude way, you can choose not to reply, calmly explain why their message isn't appreciated or someone who can help( like a or the leader of your team) to handle the situation further.

• Outro

Regardless of the thought behind criticism, whether with good or bad intent, don't let yourself be known or step down to their level. If you enjoy what you're doing, then you're doing fine, that's what's important. And if you're looking to improve, criticism might just be very helpful!
