A prison guard has just been given some very hurtful criticism. She isn’t sure how to respond. Which suggestion would you give her?

“Evaluate your expectations so that you can decide what’s reasonable.”

“Respond out of shock or anger so that your boss knows you are serious.”

“Expect perfection from your job and work to make it perfect.”

“See only the negative side of things so you can change them.”

Answer:

“Evaluate your expectations so that you can decide what’s reasonable.”

Step-by-step explanation:

When faced with hurtful criticism it is usually smart to:

  1. Relax and listen
  2. Respond to the content and not the tone
  3. Take time to respond
  4. If needed, ask questions to better understand the points being made to you
  5. Work out if the criticism is fair and if so accept it
  6. Do not get sidelined and don’t bring up other issues and personal grievances
