Summary
* Don't take it personally: It doesn't mean that the boss has it in for you; they only want to help you to succeed. Try to remove your emotions from the work or if it helps, pretend someone else wrote that erroneous report and your boss is simply asking you to revise it for them.
* Don't ignore what it being said: Dismissing the advice being offered to you is a mistake that will turn today's helpful criticism into tomorrow's censure. Instead, become self-aware and put safeguards in place to ensure you will not repeat the same error again.* Don't hold a grudge: It's OK to feel upset, angry or disappointed, but don't let it get the best of you. Put the mistake out of your mind and focus on doing the best job you can on the next task. If you believe you have been unfairly dealt with, clear the air with your supervisor and suggest ways to improve the situation. But before criticizing the criticism, be sure to reread all of the previous tips.See the full content of this document
