How we respond to negative feedback will have a big impact on how our business grows. The trouble is that we tend to not take kindly to negative feedback and respond with either dismissiveness, avoidance, or defensiveness. We leave a lot of value on the table when we don’t embrace critique and use it to our advantage.
Today we are re-airing an episode from 2 years ago that takes you through my 5 step process for responding and reacting to negative feedback in a way that opens up lines of communication, builds good will, and actually strengthens your business in the process.
Let’s dig in!
We cover:
- Why we get defensive
- The value of our staff and customers
- Deciding your response ahead of time
- Humility and self-reflection
- Refining the feedback
- Filling in missing info
- Responding with generosity
