"No Criticism Allowed" Zones
Tweet |
Many times criticism is taken negatively. (Probably 'cuz it's offered that way?) And we're told not to criticize, not to offer a contrary opinion, not to rock the boat. (Sometimes we are.) "The boss doesn't take well to disparaging remarks in meetings." "You're just to show up and shut up." "We need 'yes' men/women around here." "Who do you think you are, anyway?" These environments exist in business and life. "No criticism allowed" zones. (Are you in one?)
And the person who won't allow criticism is the person who will be swept aside, left behind, forgotten, ancient history. And even when it hurts we need to allow room for criticism. We need to allow room for critique of our thinking, actions, words and plans.
The fact is we don't have all the answers. We can't see the forest for the trees many times. We need another set of eyes. We need protection against pride (comes before a fall). Are you wanting yourself (your business) to be the best you (it) can be or not?
