DELIVERING POSITIVE CRITICISM: THE FIRST STEP IN PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT

 
Recent research suggests that criticism is perhaps the most powerful and neglected business skill, that it causes more conflicts at work than disputes over power, pay, and promotion, and that most of us are inept at giving and taking criticism productively. Furthermore, the process of criticism underlies such corporate concerns as quality control, customer service, compensation, performance appraisal, and managerial and executive development, to say nothing of how criticism affects our personal relationships. This intense program will focus on how to transform the necessary exchange of criticism from a taboo act and a destructive and demoralizing encounter into a positive, motivating, mutually beneficial experience that encourages trust, heightens self-esteem, and boosts productivity. Beyond specific techniques for giving and taking criticism in the context of working relationships, the program will address key issues that have an immediate impact on the bottom line such as how executives and managers can solicit valid criticism from their subordinates, and thus ensure the best decisions are always made. The program will also have immense personal application.
