1. All leadership/decision making roles draw criticism.
2. Consider the source.
3. Hear but don't dwell on the ANGRY criticism. It is possible there is a grain of truth in it.
4. Evaluate the constructive criticism or that from a positive source.
5. Not all disagreement is criticism. Some issues do not have perfect solutions, but a decision has to be made to move forward.
6. Listening to those with positive criticism demonstrates you care.
7. Remember, that critics tend to be louder than supporters or those who agree with your decisions. It is crazy, but true.
