#threadstorm #outreach 1/🧵 When you're at work, negative input means unhappiness, sadness, or criticism about your performance or behavior.
Since we usually put a lot of effort into our jobs and must make a good impression, hearing lousy feedback can be upsetting.
It always feels better to get good feedback. It does stink all the time; that much is true. People can quickly become defensive or try to feel embarrassed, shut down, or cry about it, which is perfectly fine!
2/🧵 People who work for administrators or managers criticize you based on things like how well you do your job, how well you meet their expectations, or how well you follow the organization's plan.
Your coworkers or direct reports could criticize things like how you lead others, how you act at work, how you talk to people at work, or how well you can work with others.
Customers' feedback can help you determine what parts of your product, services, communication, or work style need improvement.
Potential buyers could criticize things like how you write, how well it works, or how useful it is.
3/🧵 Your writing style in groups will usually take over the conversation, making it hard for others to say what they think.
There were some fundamental mistakes in the new report you turned in, and it had nothing to do with what the client wanted.
You have missed many project due dates, which has slowed down the group's progress overall.
Your partners have told you that you often make decisions without consulting or enlightening them about group projects you should work on together.
Many of your clients have said that your tone was harsh and that your way could be better.
4/🧵 It may be natural to strike out or defend yourself, but staying as professional as possible is essential.
Should the person be giving you helpful, valuable feedback, it is essential to say thank you. Saying "thank you" for feedback shows you can take it and move on.
You take a few moments to think about the feedback and express your emotions. Talk to a friend or family outside of work if you're upset.
