How to Use Negative Feedback to Improve Performance

Hearing negative or critical feedback can be quite difficult. Your tendency might be to get defensive, argue, prove you’re right, or simply avoid the person giving you feedback. However, when received calmly and responded to constructively, receiving difficult feedback can be a true WIN in the long-run. Even if you do not agree with the feedback, it at least gives you a sense of the impact your behavior is having on someone else.

The most important element to keep in mind is to listen for “hidden gems” in critical or negative feedback. In all feedback, even if it seems totally off-base, there is probably something you can learn. At the very least, you’ll understand more clearly how someone else is interpreting something you are doing. That way, you can either adjust your behavior going forward or help the other person reinterpret (i.e., recognize your true intentions).

Whether you adjust your behavior to meet expectations in a new way or you help someone clarify and better understand your behavior, either way it will likely improve your perceived performance. And in best case scenarios, if you do agree with someone’s assessment and recognize ways to improve, you can use negative feedback to improve performance in a very clear and direct manner.
