#42 - What to Do When Your Boss Criticizes You
It can be hard to enjoy work f you're in a power up/power down situation with a boss who consistently criticizes you.
It is especially challenging if you don't trust the perspective that your supervisor has.
In today's mini-episode, we discuss strategies for handling criticism at work in ways that build understanding and reduce tension.
Although a clean and tidy resolution may not always be possible, it is an option to go to bat for yourself and your needs, while also actively listening to what your boss offers.
In this episode we explore:
- 4:34 My boss' criticism feels like a way to control me
- 5:58 Her criticism tells you about her, not about you
- 10:42 Personalizing - not generalizing - impact
- 13:42 Reflecting her to her
- 14:09 Sitting in the tension of two perspectives
