Recommendation

Criticism hurts, but pain is often the shortest distance between you and change. Many people shun criticism, but what if you were to view it as a gift, even when it comes from people you don’t necessarily respect or even like? In this episode of his Re:Thinking podcast, organizational psychologist Adam Grant interviews Mellody Hobson, the president and co-CEO of Ariel Investments and the chairperson of Starbucks Corporation, about her views on feedback and representation in the workplace.

Take-Aways

  • Feedback is a gift, not a right. Search for the nugget of truth in all feedback, even if it comes from an enemy or rival.
  • If someone is kind enough to give you feedback, don’t fall apart and expect them to put you back together.
  • Don’t shy away from conflict. Stand up for your values, because people are counting on you.
