You face criticism challenging your core beliefs. How will you navigate this professional dilemma?

Feedback is important, whether positive or negative, it is a development tool. Some people find it easier to give feedback than to receive it. If you don't have the ability to receive feedback, develop it. Returning to the central question where you received feedback about your beliefs and considering that your beliefs and values are something you do not compromise. It is important to understand whether they are aligned with the company's beliefs and values. If so, try to understand whether your critic is misinterpreting them. Listen carefully and, if necessary, clarify. Now, if your beliefs and values are misaligned with the company, it is important that you rethink, or as a last resort change companies.

Contextualize: é preciso contextualizar esta situa??o: De onde vem a crítica? De colega, gestor, fornecedor ou cliente? Dependendo da fonte as atitudes podem ser diferentes. Em qualquer caso é preciso ter serenidade e refletir. Quem e como é a pessoa que está me dirigindo a critica? Preciso realmente contestar? As vezes é melhor ser indiferente.

Avalie os impactos: Se a crítica vem de uma pessoa importante no desenvolvimento de sua carreira e representa fielmente os valores da organiza??o, talvez seja necessário pensar em uma retirada estratégica. N?o é possível ter saúde mental quando a organiza??o fere os valores e princípios de uma pessoa.

Resiliência: é necessário também avaliar o potencial de mudan?a do grupo e da organiza??o em rela??o a valores humanos e sociais. Com resiliência e no médio ou longo prazo valores ou conceitos podem mudar. Claro que a mudan?a n?o será automática, sendo necessário um plano e talvez ajuda externa.

Have an Open Dialogue. Initiate a conversation with the individual or group who presented the criticism. Approach the discussion with curiosity and a willingness to listen. This can help uncover underlying concerns, clarify misunderstandings, and find common ground.

As Chairman of the Career Development Centre at BIT Sindri, I emphasize that engaging in open and respectful dialogue is crucial when addressing criticism. Approach these conversations with a mindset focused on learning rather than defending your position. This fosters a constructive exchange of ideas, leading to mutual understanding and potential growth. The objective is not to win an argument but to gain valuable insights and identify opportunities for improvement. Such dialogues also build relationships and demonstrate that you value diverse perspectives, enhancing both personal and professional development.

As Chairman of the Career Development Centre at BIT Sindri, I believe that reflection following a dialogue about criticism is essential for growth. Take time to consider the feedback and the subsequent conversation to understand what can be learned. Self-reflection helps critically evaluate your beliefs and behaviors, leading to either reaffirmation of your values or adjustments based on new insights. This process is vital for continuous learning and professional development, promoting ongoing self-improvement and adaptation.

As Chairman of the Career Development Centre at BIT Sindri, I emphasize that if reflection reveals merit in the criticism, it's crucial to implement changes. This may involve adjusting your approach, pursuing further education, or modifying certain behaviors. Adapting to feedback demonstrates your commitment to excellence and proactive approach to professional growth. Embracing change, though challenging, is essential for progress and helps refine and strengthen your core beliefs, making them more informed and resilient.

Stand Firm, But Be Open to Growth. It’s essential to stand firm in your core beliefs, but also recognize that growth often comes from challenging situations. Use this experience as an opportunity to refine your beliefs, strengthen your resolve, and expand your understanding of the professional landscape.
