Do you agree with the following statement? In a team, those who do not accept others' criticism cannot succeed. Communication is a significant element in our daily life, and we would provide ideas to others, we also accept advice and suggestions from others. Nowadays, there is a hot topic discussed by people: could one person succeed when he or she denies other's criticism in a group? Personally speaking, in a group it's unreasonable for people who always deny other's criticism, because any person cannot be always right and they need to be corrected; while, in order to keep independent and reasonable mind, a person can not accept other's criticism without thinking for some complicated situations. Basically speaking, accepting other's criticism is a good manner for any members in a group, especially for those who just enter into new group. In Chinese, there is an old saying "No man is god, thus anyone could make wrong thing" In that way, people might not realize his or her mistakes and shortcoming, and it is possible that a person's bad habit makes other unpleased. For example, an office man is always speaking loudly in a office which is shared by others, and other colleagues is likely to remind him to keep voice lower. In that case, if the man refuse to accept the criticism about his loud speaking manner, other colleague must fell unpleased and they might keep hostile with the man. On contrary, if the man accept the criticism actively and apologize sincerely to his colleagues, his colleague would like to keep good relationship with him, they would like to have more communication in future. Therefore, accepting other's criticism is a primary method to keep good relationship with other members, which makes great contribution for a person to succeed in a group. Secondly, accepting other's criticism is an efficient ways to help people to change their wrong mind and improve their shortcoming. For example, a new computer program maker always fails to finish his work on time, which makes negative effects to the whole program term. And his colleagues make criticisms to him. If the new maker accept these criticisms sincerely and then ask his colleague about the problems he faced, it's highly possible that he will get much valuable advice and knowledge from experienced members, which make him process quickly and continuously. However, it is dangerous to accept other's criticism without thinking when it terms with some complex situations. For example, for a president, he or she faces many debatable and complex problems. When it's time to make policy, it is known to us that any policy can hardly to meet every social member's need and interests because of the complex conditions and situations of the great number of social members. Even a "right" policy is made by president, it still bring some criticisms to the policy maker. In that case, as a leader, they should consider these criticisms carefully, and make a most beneficial policy for the social members. In sum, each person is inevitable to make mistakes, and accepting other's criticism is beneficial for them, because they can have a better understanding on their wrong manners and shortcomings, and make it possible to change and improve them in future. However, sometimes people will face complex and debatable problems and situations, in order to keep a clear and reasonable mind, people should reconsider the criticisms from other members, especially for the group leaders. |
