Be patient, listen the criticism, analyze it if you made mistake then change and get advice from your Coworkers and supervisor. If the advice is constructive use it. And keep on learning how to improve

This is what I Do

  • Listen everyone
  • Think what makes them say that
  • If you are wrong then improve yourself or otherwise just ignore.
  • Also keep on finding mistakes in yourself and keep on improving your way of work.

Criticism is an opportunity to learn.  It is a chance to discover how to do something better.  Do this enough times and you will get a promotion or a better job.

 

The following applies to constructive criticism.  Negative or destructive criticism is not criticism at all, it is usually bullying.

 

1. Decide to regard criticism as a positive thing (and not a negative one)

 

2. When you are criticised, remember that the criticism is of one particular thing, and not of you as a person

 

3. Engage with the criticiser.  Discuss what they have to say.

 

4. Find the positive aspects to your performance.  Figure out how to solve the negative ones.  Make a plan for how to do the task next time.

Always by introspection,as I know my strengths and weakness better then the people who criticize.Sometimes we ignore our own faults and keep repeating it,so when criticized ,at least we know the problem.Best way to react to criticism at work to put your head down and keep working.Also,sometimes it helps to ask for help,preferably from HR,colleagues and senors.

There is no harm in accepting the improvement area, but never criticize publically or in group. The best way to learn and to improvise is to conveyance the concern with solid reasoning and positivity.
