Can you take constructive criticism? There are a lot of people that can dish it but simply can't take it. I can take it even if it isn't constructive criticism because I feel whatever's being thrown at me, if i'm willing not to get caught up in the nonesense in the process, it will build me up into a stronger person then i already am. It challenges me to be on my toes and about my witts. To realize that with positive comes negative. That's just the way of the world.

YES and NO! Some people think constructive criticism is acceptable at all times.... well it's not. There are times when its inappropriate. Let me list them
1. In front of others
2. By people that dont have any idea how to do their job...let alone theirs.
3. Email is NOT OK to criticize someone.
4. At the beginning of your day! AHHH way to make the rest of the day miserable.
TIPS FOR "CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM":
1. Tell the person how great a job they are dong at something else... then let them know that you believe they can do better in ________ (a specific area of work). Tell them you believe in them and think they can achieve a higher position within the company with a little bit more concentration on their job.
2. Be face to face... and alone. Give them a chance to explain themselves. If they give a reason for not being able to pull their weight.... consider the possibilities.... maybe YOU are wrong? If you are.... do them the honor of admitting it to them. "You know what... I never thought of that... you are right... good job!"
3. Dont "criticize" someone with low self esteem or people that can't admit they did something wrong. Instead... approach them with a much more mild approach. Tell them how frustrated you are about the work that _______(a specific department in the company) is doing. Tell them how you think it can be improved and what you think should be expected. Now this person knows what you expect, and was never under fire. Their precious ego isn't bruised, and you have made yourself clear as to what you expect. NEVER NAME NAMES if you aren't going to confront this person directly. You dont want that person to spread rumors that you aren't happy with Nancy in accounting because you used her as an example. Sorry nancy! I THINK YOU ROCK! :D

I can take it. So?
White male
Married
2 kids
Traced my ancestors all to the south and, yes, some had slaves.
They all picked cotton.
So, do you want to critisize me?
I even voted Republican for Bush!
No, i don't feel guilty about anything.
I am courteous and helpful to the less fortunate.
I believe that blacks, most blacks, have a hatred for white people that is based upon a misunderstanding or jealousy.
I have no sypathy for the laws in the 60's that now keep giving blacks special treatment.
OK, how do you feel?

With every action there is a reaction... Words can be a double edge sword.. they can hurt going in and coming out!
I will listen & try to be a better person.. Everyone can talk ... but not everyone can listen...

FANTASTIC, THIS IS WHAT I HAVE LEARNED MYSELF AFTER MANY YEARS. IT'S FUNNY CAUSE IF SOMEONE IS CRITICISING ME THEN I CAN SEE WHO THEY ARE CRICISING, THEMSELVES. I LOOK FOR THE LESSONS AND LOVE THE CHALLENGE OF FIGURING OUT WHAT I AM SUPPOSE TO LEARN FOR THIS PERSON. I CAN SEE FLAWS AND PROBLEMS WITH OTHER PEOPLE, BUT NOW I CAN SEE THAT FLAW AND FIND IT IN MYSELF. IT'S ALL ABOUT BEING THE BEST ME I CAN. GOD BLESS, WE NEED MORE OF US, TEACH IT, I DO BY TALKING ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME AND HOW I LEARNED IT
