Criticism is free consultancy — capitalize on it! First, filter the noise from actionable insights. Identify recurring themes in feedback to uncover systemic gaps. Next, engage stakeholders in collaborative problem-solving; make them part of the solution, not just critics. Prioritize quick wins to build credibility while integrating long-term fixes into strategic planning. Use data to validate (or debunk) concerns and ensure decisions are insight-driven. Most importantly, communicate transparently — acknowledge feedback, outline actions, and provide progress updates. When critics see tangible impact, they become allies. As Jeff Bezos said, "Complaints are opportunities in disguise."

1. Take criticism as a chance to learn and grow. 2. Look for patterns to see what’s not working. 3. Work with stakeholders to understand their concerns and find solutions together. 4. Make changes that align with your goals and focus on the most important feedback. 5. Update your plans, track progress, and show improvements. This approach turns criticism into better decisions and stronger plans.

Reflect and reframe. The art of listening is to hear what is said , and what is not said. Critical feedback tells you where there is an opportunity for change, but also it is an opportunity to check that the elements not part of any critical feedback are on the right track. Knowing what is helping you move forward with a strategic action can then help you dig deeper to ask what is the gap between what has been done and where stakeholders want to be. Reframe that gap into the action by continuing to ask reflective questions. Why is this a gap? What else us missing?
