If you are a subordinate who has been criticized by your superiors, how do you accept criticism from your superiors?
Superiors criticizing subordinates is a common scene in the workplace. Different people react differently to criticism. Some people will be annoyed and angry because they can't accept criticism; Some people will accept criticism calmly, and reflect on their own problems and find their own shortcomings, so that they can grow rapidly. Most people who can't accept criticism have a fixed mindset, and most people who can accept criticism calmly have a growth mindset. Professionals need to have a growth mindset.
If a person wants to have a growth mindset, he needs to master five principles: the principle of reverse quotient, the principle of emotional intelligence, the principle of transposition, the principle of optimization, and the principle of zero.
Adversity quotient refers to the way a person reacts in the face of adversity, and it reflects a person's ability to face setbacks and get out of trouble. A person who does not complain when encountering problems, dares to take responsibility, and actively faces criticism will help cultivate adverse quotient. Reverse quotient refers to a person's blunt sensitivity to criticism. One needs to be slow to criticize and sensitive to behavior modification.
Chu Shijian is a typical representative with a high adversity quotient. At the age of 51, he took over a small cigarette factory in the county that was on the verge of collapse and built it into the first cigarette factory in Asia.
1. The world's leading modern large-scale tobacco enterprises. At the age of 71, he was sentenced to life imprisonment and deprived of political rights for life for the unknown amount of his property. He was released on medical parole at the age of 73, and at the age of 74, he contracted with his wife to start growing oranges in the barren mountains. More than 10 years later, Chu Cheng has an annual output of 10,000 tons and a profit of more than 60 million yuan. "Inspirational orange"Popular all over the country. "Mencius: The Second Confession" says:"Therefore, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and empty their bodies. "A person who constantly thinks in the face of adversity, does not give up, and moves forward against the trend, can gradually cultivate the quality of adversity in life.
In 1995, Daniel Goleman, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, elaborated on emotional intelligence in his book "Emotional Intelligence", which attracted widespread attention. By definition, emotional intelligence refers to the ability of people to perceive and understand their own and others' emotions, and to use that understanding to regulate and mobilize the emotions of others.
The principle of empathy refers to a person's ability to think from the other person's perspective and think about the other person when dealing with anything. When you are criticized by your superiors, you should not rush to refute it, but reflect on whether there is a problem with your behavior. If there is a real problem with your behavior, you should be humble enough to accept the criticism immediately and correct it immediately. If there is no problem with your behavior, you should not defend it immediately, and you can communicate openly with the leader in the right place to explain the reasons behind it. By observing the way you deal with problems, leaders can see your mind and pattern.
People who can empathize with others will be more comfortable and relieved when they are criticized because they have empathy.
The optimization principle refers to the fact that a person actively accepts criticism from leaders and is able to treat criticism as an asset when facing criticism. There is such a saying in the Haier Group:"Don't treat criticism as a burden, but treat criticism as wealth. "Sometimes a leader criticizes you a lot, not because the leader hates you, but because the leader has high expectations for you and wants you to grow faster. In the workplace, we can see a phenomenon: the more the leader trusts whom, the more he criticizes whom. The courage to accept criticism is an ability.
After a person accepts criticism, he should immediately correct his behavior, instead of accepting it in person and not acting behind his back.
The zero-clearance principle means that when we are criticized by others, we first clear our original views, accept criticism, then analyze, and then correct. The zero-COVID principle is also known as:"Empty cup mentality"。Only if the cup is empty will everyone say that it is a cup. A cup full of tea, others will say it's a cup of tea; A cup full of Coke will be said to be a Coke; A cup full of coffee would say it was a cup of coffee.
The zero-COVID principle makes us more aware of ourselves. A storm of criticism is often sobering. If your leadership can"Wake up"You, then he must be a rare noble and noble person in your life.
Criticism is a very good way or tool to fix wrong behavior. Ali people's attitude of accepting criticism is self-reflection, Haier's attitude of accepting criticism is self-denial, Huawei's attitude of accepting criticism is self-criticism, and Tencent's attitude of accepting criticism is self-transformation.
Being able to humbly accept the criticism of others is a manifestation of a person's pattern. Sometimes it's not because the world is small, it's because our pattern is small. Not being able to accept criticism from others only shows that our cultivation is not enough. The mentality changes, and the world is wide.
If we make good use of the five principles of criticism, we can turn criticism into a stepping stone to growth. Correct criticism from others and correct your own behavior. If a person does not correct his behavior after being criticized by others, then that person is stubborn and persistent.
