When we receive negative feedback, our bodies react instinctively. Physiologically, our shoulders tense up and our breath becomes more shallow. What's worse is that, according to studies on how we respond to criticism, our ego becomes so defensive in these moments that it starts to censor the information we take in and process. This means that we actually start to shut down when we are receiving negative feedback. However, hearing negative feedback is critical to our ability to improve our performance.
In a recent episode of his podcast WorkLife, organizational psychologist Adam Grant focuses on the art and science of giving and receiving negative feedback.
Even if you know that negative feedback helps you improve, it can be hard to hear it. So how do we get past that instinctual "fight or flight" response in order to actually process the feedback and improve on it?
