10 ideas how to accept criticism at work

If you work for a large company and someone hates your organization’s products may not like a lot but probably the thing you do not lose any sleep. It’s much harder when you are an entrepreneur and your business and your products and services which are critical in the conventional way or via the Internet, with nasty comments on blogs or hurtful Twitter or Facebook entries.

As an entrepreneur or entrepreneurial potential, what is or would be your most common reaction to criticism? In fact, the worst criticism is often receive even before mounting the initiative, as mentioned in the sentence that appears in the image:

There are plenty of people out there who will tell you that you can not. But you have to do is turn around and say “look at me.”

For Carmen, the positive reation would be like the intelligent application of judo technique that allows the use of force contrary to your advantage. This is the attitude, right? Consider these tips to make the criticisms made about your support for entrepreneurship.

10 ideas to take the criticism at work from boss and coworkers :

1. Do not be swayed by the extremes. Try not to over-enthused when people give you praise pointless. Similarly, try not to when you receive criticism alterarte brutal. You must have a clear idea of yourself @ @ and stay focused on your business and how you offer value to your customers. If you try to please fans enraged, you can be a victim of paralysis trying to climb to an impossible standard. If you try to please your detractors and “correct” what they believe is wrong, is not you mism @.
2. Be a sieve. Have a comment difficult, choose the parts that may be useful or contain some truth and discard the rest. The easiest way to do this is to ask, “What part of this review is worthless for me, I will position myself better on the market and make me feel more pride in what I do if I apply?” Stay with this part the comment and forget the rest.
3. Do not shoot the messenger. Readers of blogs can be very direct with his comments. Some people are just petty and personal attacks do besides criticize your ideas. If you ever receive such comment, your first impulse may be to respond aggressively. Do not. Return will not solve anything kind to someone who only tries to provoke you or hurt you. On the contrary, might even encourage him to continue publishing personal attacks.
4. Ask questions. When someone attempts to disassemble the philosophy of your business grow and make money do not get discouraged. Although you do not know the answer, the best thing to do is ASK! I always ask people who has done something how can I implement in my business. Always show good will to assist and help you overcome the criticism.
5. Focus on your customers. Critics disappear from your life even if your company achieve the success you expected, but if you are you and your customers happy and satisfied with what you offer, that is the key! You can not please everyone, you will always receive criticism and some people will never be satisfied with your efforts or services, or at least never recognize. But remember they can not send in your business. Are the results which provide the best feedback and you carry the boat.
6. Delivers value from day one. Trust yourself @ with any business that you undertake. If you want to shake off the critics, you have to have certainty and knowing what your business is going to make a difference or problems. People want results and ambitious but the results are not immediate, you have to give them something good from the start wanting to do more.
7. Watch your finances. Try to remember that most critics call themselves “realists”. Since when riding your own business is not real! Most people are used to work for someone and get paid every month. They do not understand that life is not for everyone. Do not live for critics, live for yourself @. You have to be happy, but do it reasonably so that you can pay your bills!
8. Accept the risk. Many critics will recommend you to avoid risking. Do not believe it is possible, under its terms can not be done. Do not believe for a second, but you have to put all your effort if you want to see how your business is successful. If you will not take risks with your own business you can not reach your goals.
9. Learn the importance of criticism. I really want criticism! The criticism shows that people are interested in what you are doing and your initiative is being known. If you do not receive criticism is that your business does not exist. Critics force you and motivate you to do better in part to prove them wrong.
10. You are your worst critic. We all have an inner critic that whispers in our ear when we try new things. “Who do you think you are managing a business?” Whatever you do in life, you’ll always be yourself dur @ @ and this is especially true for l @ s that are their own bosses. You have to aim high, but sometimes it’s good to take a step back perspective to see what you got, the address you are wearing and what is not working. Aa Even when your customers love what you do and what you sell, your own reviews to help you keep improving.

The more ambitious and innovative as your business, receive more negative criticism. Learn how to receive gracefully and intelligently manage.

How to solve top 8 problems with Google Wave

It just announced that Google Wave, the bad boy of the house, opens its infrastructure, so that may be installed on other servers. Many have interpreted this as the true beta of the product, which will realize their potential.

In the twenty-fourth sharismo synchronized, Carme Pla he puts his hand to his proposal that I sent, what Google Wave solve problems?, An article by Daniel Tenner, cofounder of Woobius. Porfa, do not forget to visit the version published in the Carme blog.

I must confess that after a frenzied first days of exploratory Wave, at the invitation of Antonio, I almost made it stand by for the moment I see no short-term applicability in my digital life, which does not mean the will have soon. Moreover, certain that he will be, will come from the hand of fully-fledged geeks than me;)

In recent weeks I have read many blogs published analysis of reference and also browsed the occasional guide or training materials, eg of Mashable. Some thoughts I have seen remarkable Blogoff, Versus, Cuesta Jaime’s blog, Web Masters, Error 500, Wwwhat’s new and, of course, the shell.

But perhaps the best definition I found in the Wave Blog Andrés Nieto: the result of an orgy between a forum, MSN and a Wiki. It seems that at least fun is guaranteed;)

I leave you now with the translation of Carme, and you advance one of the most important paragraphs of the article:

Wave is not a social tool. There is Twitter, GTalk not, is not Facebook. Never was designed to attract the masses of geeks who are testing it now. Wave is built for the corporate environment. It is a tool to run work.

The image is of flap.


What Google Wave solve problems?

For most geeks, the main problem with email is spam. They have no problems with online collaboration – using Google Docs, Etherpad, Skitch, tools, screen sharing or collaborative whiteboard numerous applications. So the biggest problem is for geeks who have subscribed to all services that are swamped with reports, monthly newsletters, automated messages, and a small amount of spam that gets through the GMail spam filters. But when they want to collaborate on a document or image, know how to find the tools they need, most of the time.

Nevertheless, most geeks do lots of collaboration based on documents, email or otherwise. The programming does not require large amount of collaboration tools beyond source control and bug tracking systems. If you’re Robert Scoble probably do not have to spend days working on a specification document for a delicate aspect of Project X, or at least not very often, and probably not the suggested changes which collates worldwide and returns to send the document to be reviewed again.

In most corporate and business environments, however, this happens all the time. People work on documents, presentations and more. They maintain long conversations via email. Jobs come and go through one or multiple organizations for weeks before being completed. People who join the conversation later. Attached files are lost. Inboxes are filled and emails that are stumbling. Great suffering.

What are the problems with email in the corporate environment, and what makes Wave to solve them?

Problem 1: Work in a text

It is difficult to use email just as it is used, for example, Etherpad – to collaborate on a document to be sent later. Most of these collaborations they end up with either a Word document with tracked changes, or when they are more timely, in a long chain of emails with corrections coming from all directions. It’s a nightmare to track and collate all the feedback. Even giving the answer is difficult at times: we must cite the context and make sure the change is clearly highlighted.

Google solves Wave effectively integrating the features of Etherpad and email client. It is a breath of fresh air.

Problem 2: Add new people to the conversation

A common thread can forward all email to a whole new entrant, or list it in the following answer, but what will that person is messy and confusing, in reverse chronological order. If you have ever added to a thread of email over a week and it contained dozens of responses, you know what I mean.

Google solves Wave giving exactly the same vision to everyone, regardless of when they were added.

Problem 3: Keep people added added

Many times when new people are added to a conversation, you lose again later when someone replies to a previous email which included no new entrants. Sometimes it costs a bit until you realize that there are people who are not in conversation. It takes time and is annoying for all those who are and those without.

Wave solves this problem by having “let out to people” is an explicit action and not something done by mistake ..

Problem 4: Attach files

Most large companies have an email storage problem and limiting the size of inboxes. For this reason, it is not uncommon to see notices of “mailbox full” when we send large documents. Not only that, but can be risky to send documents. The SMTP protocol does not seem very good to send large files.

Although in truth, Wave will probably suffer the same limitations as other applications HTTP file upload – but it remains far better than the current email. Send emails over 10MB usually fail. Append a 10MB file in Wave is no problem at all.

Problem 5: Attachments lost

When we respond to email an annex, the annex is lost. This is good for email, because it prevents a single thread unnecessarily clogged email server storage while its bandwidth. Since all email is transmitted by the cable when you click “send”, such limitations are inevitable.

What this implies, however, is that if you get new people into the conversation, adding them as recipients or by returning the last email in the conversation, have no annex. Not only that, but if we find the first schedule, and the conversation takes weeks (and most people usually receives around 50 emails a day major), found that Annex can be quite difficult. If there were multiple attachments for the thread of conversation, group them all and send them to a new entrant is exponentially more tedious.

With the Wave model, however, the annexes are kept at the site were added. Only transmitted by the sender wire to the server once. Never forward an attachment to someone. When you add people to the conversation, gain access to the annexes at the same time.

Problem 6: Multiple branches of the conversation

Email conversations are basically flat. If you try to create multiple branches in a email conversation ends with a sordid confusion. It may have done a few times in life, but you learn quickly not to do so. But flatten everything has its own problems of sharing – each email ends containing answers to several other emails. It becomes very difficult to keep track of what has been answered and what not. And it is difficult to consolidate all the suggestions effectively.

Google solves Wave wireless enabling crystal clear. Yes, if you use lots of threads of conversation on the type of instant messaging will be difficult to manage. But with email threads collaborative kind, help keep things more orderly.

Problem 7: Small corrections

With email, the only comment if another email is the correction of a dozen typos, it should be almost as much work as if it were to make substantial changes to the proposed text. We have to cite the context to highlight how much is correct, then trust the other person to apply the changes to the original document (which often forgets to do – after all, are only a few misprints).

With wave, there is no such problem – you can simply edit the original text and make those changes. If the person who wrote this document seeks to review the changes made, you can rebuild.

Problem 8: From Email IM to Email

Instant messaging is a useful and powerful technology that has proven its worth. But it is well integrated with email. For those who trust in the inbox to continue the talks, there is still that gap in order to keep IM elsewhere. GTalk attempted to resolve this problem by storing the IM conversations in the inbox – and it was a good step.

What makes Google Wave, however, is much more prominent: it recognizes the fact that many IM conversations, in corporate environments, starting with an exchange of email that is just too fast. When sending more than 3 emails to the same person in a minute, often make more sense either call or go by IM. With Google Wave this need not be a conscious decision: if you answer quickly, Wave becomes an IM platform without any transition. When responses are slowed again then converted back to email platform.

This means that the entire conversation, whether as type IM-type email, is susceptible to monitoring or do a search on the site, visible to all who have been invited to the conversation.
Conclusion

I think people who do not see why Google Wave is simply viewed from a perspective inadequate. Wave is not a social tool. There is Twitter, GTalk not, is not Facebook. Never was designed to attract the masses of geeks who are testing it now.

Wave is built for the corporate environment. It is a tool to run work. And here is an excellent tool, even in this early state in which it is.

It will probably take years before it completely penetrates Wave large corporations and replace the email system to which everyone is accustomed. But solving many complicated problems with email that can handle very well, unlike many other attempts to fix the email you have failed.

New employment culture – manage your life in the crisis

Documenting and giving content to the presentation to prepare for forum, Manage your life on the crisis, I find this joke:

A man in search of work tells the chief of staff:
“I came to fill the position of the gentleman who had just drowned.
“Sorry, you arrive late, and we gave that pushed him.

The precarious and unhealthy competition for jobs has gone from being a temporary situation to a lifestyle. I say this without bitterness or disappointment, only descriptive effort.

The pervasiveness and strength of this model has long been mitigated negative emotions and has taken us from the frustration that produces unjust to the chronic acceptance that this is and will be things that most people’s wages will not improve many efforts and make their jobs if they do, tend to be more routine, dedicated and stressful day.

Of course, some consultants, managers and well-meaning politicians will insist on selling the dream of globalization and some others like the “knowledge society”, idealization that for much of the population is reduced to using their digital certificate to access your bank account and see how it varies the amount of your mortgage, and follow the GPS compulsively to the places where you can use with your credit card comfort. If you think one is turning out an article pessimistic, I will kindly remind you that pessimism is something else, right?

The danger of this continuing precariousness is not unexpectedly has been installed, like you do not want the thing, but that has made us think that this way of living is virtually the only possible one. One day you wake up and discover that your degree does not reach you to get the life you thought, but maybe you can not deny that you also have some responsibility in this fiasco.

We are told that if we accept these wages will stay low prices, that if we work more hours, the economy will improve, that good people always get their recognition, and continually recycling and doing courses to improve in our employment, not to lose or to find .

Much of these thoughts I wrote in March 2008, when the crisis is already evident. But for many more years of living in this “new” work culture direct responsibility of a few, those above, but also indirectly by the indolence of many others, those at the bottom.

Manage your life on the crisis might well have been entitled to manage the crisis in your life, because many people who have lost their jobs in recent months will have to face their future in a completely different way. And many people keep their jobs, temporarily at least, should assume that the only way to live beyond the instability is to be better, more tenacious, more skilled and more versatile than others.

Top 6 tips to find best long distance job

In reading Zahara, I remembered a post by Penelope Trunk with 6 tips to find work at a distance, where the most important of all was that we do, because chances are that we have to change before residence and dedicate ourselves to seeking employment once we get there. But nevertheless it is necessary to do so for whatever reason, here are tips from Penelope.

1. Position yourself as a specialist.

Most people move from one city of low demand for a city of high demand. For example: from Tucson to San Francisco. There are many groups of skills that you need to find someone outside of San Francisco to find them. If you want to find work from Tucson, you need one of these groups of skills that people think they can not get into San Francisco. Normally that means you will have highly specialized Haberte. So the first thing to consider for employment in a city where you live is that you need not be highly specialized or high demand.

The idea behind specialization is that you are so good in a specific subject that people not likely to find someone as good as you locally. Sometimes a good coach in professional development could help you write your resume focused on your specialization. If you have no, a first step towards specialization is reading about the funeral industry, where you have to specialize in something (sometimes unusual) to survive.

2. Position yourself as a result of a big city.

Some of you you try to move in the opposite direction from New York to Tuscaloosa. In that case, you can offer as someone who has the know-how of a great city and it can lead to a smaller city. By having a company in Madison know that when we heard a prominent exponent of a great city moves to Madison, we ask to interview immediately. Prejudice is a thinking that as competitiveness is much stronger in big cities, people who reach the top deserve them because we do not see many of these people.

3. Check your reality.

If you can position yourself in one of two ways, you have to move out before getting the job. Think about it: Why would anyone catch a plane to interview you when there are plenty of people in your city that could do the job? Nonsense.

4. Be spectacular building local networks.

If you continue with the determination to secure employment before moving, you will devote much time to create a network. You know that many jobs come through networking. So you need to have a strong network located where you want to move out. This does not mean you invite forty people from the city to connect with you on LinkedIn. These are not the type of connections that the person will play for you. You need a network of people that have real conversations, and share real conversations with them. After a time these people care for you and want to help you. This is one of the reasons that among groups of Brazen careerist, those based on the geographical location are the most popular.

5. Choose a city if you can not choose a job.

Many of you simply will have to move before getting the job. And since you must do before you have a job, why not assure you that going to the right place?

6. Note to friends and family.

Before you relocate for economic reasons, do not forget the number one factor to consider for your next job whether you will be happier, that is whether you will be closer to friends and family. Because, as you already know, money does not buy happiness. And maybe you do not know, but a job not make you happy. A job can make you unhappy, but once you have the basics of a good job, your relationships are those that make you happy.

In each of your answers, use verbs denoting positive achievements and purposeful attitude, your answers to each question should not last more than 2 minutes.

8 .- Prepare arguments and better answers to difficult questions

Put yourself in the interviewer’s place, make a list of questions that you would do to a candidate for a vacancy and think what would be the best answer for each.

Top employment psychological questions

A man crosses the border on a donkey. We recorded to ensure that contraband is not, then let him go. For two years the man crosses the border every day riding a donkey while the guards increasingly suspicious, always let you go. Years later, a retired guard walking down the street recognized the man who spent much time across the border. Yours kindly and said:
“We both know that you spent smuggling, what was it? Tell me, please.
“Donkeys, answered calmly.

Studying history is included in the ranking of jokes about psychology and employment, a classic that shows that erroneous beliefs and prejudices lead us to make decisions without regard to important information.

Job search and professional life in general often do not give the results we expect in large part because the information on which we base decisions and implementation of search techniques are not appropriate or necessary.

I present some of the misconceptions that lead to unemployment, job insecurity and professional dissatisfaction across different case studies: that of Alexander, a Law graduate who returns from a frustrated opposition, Julia, a saleswoman who wants to work, Maria Jesus, a teacher who already know, who sought the luck, and John, a stock boy more motivated than first thought.

1. BELIEF OF MOTIVATION: “Everyone wants to work.”

Typically, it is understood (wrongly) that a person who does not work are unemployed, ie who are interested in working and striving to seek employment. But it is clear that there are at any given time many “inactive” who do not want to enter the labor market.

Not all people who do not work have the same motivation to work and therefore do not put the same effort and devote the same time try to seek employment or improve their careers. Eye, it’s okay for not wanting to work or be less motivated to do so than others. But it is interesting to be aware and take the time to prepare quietly vital professional future.

Case Study: leave or stay?

When several people unemployed living in a small city are advised to boost their careers with work experience in large cities, such as Madrid or Barcelona, some reject this option citing the high cost of living and affirming to work outside their city would be “eaten what it served.”

Others, however, are aware that although these experiences to report their short-term economic benefits, are crucial to the future to improve curriculum and professional career. The willingness to accept greater geographical mobility and various working conditions is one of the factors indicate a greater motivation to empleo.En general, with which of these two attitudes you identify, “go” or “stay”?

2. BELIEF OF KNOWLEDGE: “I know why I’m unemployed or why my life goes so wrong.”

If we are asked, most of us would be able to list the assumptions underlying factors of our unemployed, but one thing is to give reasons and another to be right. That self-knowledge is overvalued and it is much harder than it looks.

If we ask “why are unemployed?” Or a bad work situation, certainly we will look at topical and rather vague general answers like “is that now things are very bad in my area” or “it is very difficult to find employment if you have no contacts, as I do, but we hardly sufficient perspective and vision to truly discover the factors involved in our situation without help from counselors or professional counselors.

Case study: The Opposition.

Alexander finished his degree in law with the intention of overcoming some challenging competitions. After years of preparation fell short, and I had prepared no “plan B”, one of the evil ways of choosing the 1st studies. After a period of inactivity and despondency began working before the crisis, a real estate company. I was not pleased but the time passed.

After a couple of years in the agency decided to try to find something better. He enrolled in the public employment office, left some curricula in many employment agencies and some banks, and even thought about setting up a private agency. Repeated from time to time these attempts intermittent job search but never got results. I thought: “Ugh, so now is there are not many job opportunities for graduates in law, I pointed to almost everything and I can not call me. Well, when things really get better interviews. ”

Do you think that Alexander is being realistic? You think you know the reasons why not find work? Are clear about their career goals, has a specific search plan? What is the status of Alexander appears to yours?

3. THE ONLY REASON THE BELIEF: “If I’m on unemployment is something concrete, something in particular I’ve done wrong or not do.”

Things are much simpler than they seem but not necessarily simple. When we are in a bad situation the interaction of many factors and accumulated errors will be responsible. This misconception of the single ground is also related to the belief of knowledge, with that false illusion that we really know the reasons for our problems, in this case, professionals.

Case study: The saleswoman.

Julia decided a few years ago to rejoin the labor market. As for many years worked as a clerk in a family business, most of the time without a work contract, he thought he could return to practice that occupation. A professional counselor helped him put together their resumes and submit an application in person at dozens of shops and supermarkets in their town.

After a few months without a single response was very discouraged Julia: “It must be that as I have only the EGB (General Basic Education, basic studies in Spain a few years ago) do not meet the requirements for being a cashier, or clerk Replenishing. I think I should do a course to upgrade. ”

Decided to take a course of occupational training Dependienta 5 months. It was very dull and theoretical, and above all, there was little contact with companies, but thought it might be worthwhile for the title, which would value the supermarket. Months after the course and months after the filing of dozens of other curricula, the results also came: “I think I keep doing courses, apparently still do not meet the profile.”

Do you think the reason for not selected Julia as a cashier or Replenishing is their lack of training or determinants may be other reasons? Many unemployed people also believe they are poorly qualified for certain jobs and so they embark on many training courses. But in many cases the problem will not be of disqualification or lack of training, but may simply not apply the search techniques more suitable for each case. The cursitis usually does not take the job by itself.

4. BELIEF OF LUCK. “I can not find employment or if I keep it because I have no luck. No luck no matter how long or how hard I try search.

This is possibly the most common and used belief as to the problems one has in life in general, and in seeking employment in particular. The problem with using the luck or bad luck as an excuse for how badly things are going is that sometimes this attitude leads to inactivity: what to keep trying!

We know that the best job search technique is a proper management of personal and professional contacts, a technique also known as networking. And you will realize that the more contacts you make, the more conversations you have with acquaintances and friends, more “luck” will;)

Case study: The teacher (From “The best job search technique”)

Maria Jesus finished Magisterium 5 years ago. Since then he has been giving private lessons to students in his village. Opposition has been submitted to a couple of times but was unsuccessful. There is very happy with his career and the fact of having been engaged for 6 months only in recent years. A labor counselor you mentioned the importance of relationships and contacts with people you know, talked about how to properly use the calendar, how to be more sociable, how to find employment informing acquaintances, relatives and friends, and so on.

Currently leads a month working as a commercial publisher of educational books in which he is very comfortable. It turned out that an acquaintance of his uncle, in turn knew someone who worked at the publishing house and they needed a vendor with educational profile. This guy, that Mary Jesus had recently reported their interest in working, he said: “If you had told me earlier, I had moved before, niece. Do you think that Mary Jesus found the job through luck, or that the chance came to have applied the technique of job search and contact information? What activities could you do to improve your “luck”?

5. BELIEF of divine punishment. “Work is not like anyone, just working to earn money”.

No, appears to have “strange people” who enjoys working because the tasks they carry are related to their personal and professional interests. One can always develop new motivations or find jobs more closely related to what you like and / or develop new interests.

In any case, although the work we perform is not to our liking, we should do so in the most satisfying experience. When you become a specialist in a group of tasks, others begin to recognize your skills and professional values, and maybe become good at a profession is the best way to enjoy this profession, as in the tale of the grinder pencils, included in the 7 stories to start the fall with productivity.

Case Study. The stock boy.

His attitude toward the job began to change, and became interested in other storage tasks. One year after completing school was raised to gain access to better jobs in that factory. Why did John to be more satisfied with their work? What can you do to be happier at work, although not the ideal job?
