The Power of Positive Criticism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780814474723)

Discover why criticism is essential to many aspects of business, such as performance appraisals, quality control, and team functioning, to name a few.

Some people just can't take criticism while others just can't give it--not in a positive, motivating, mutually beneficial manner, anyway. Using real-life scenarios and the author's 21 tips to positive criticism, you will learn to:

• Think of criticism as a positive thing
• Become strategic criticizers and develop their skill in using the power of positive criticism
• Stay cool, calm, and collected when giving or getting criticism
• Criticize their boss--without getting fired, and more

The Power of Positive Criticism helps you take the sting out of criticism--and transform it from a destructive, demoralizing disaster into an energizing, educating experience that builds relationships and increases individual and organizational success.
