Criticism is healthy when it comes to company life. If someone's baby is ugly, it doesn't matter.. You see, your kid is not a product or service (I HOPE!!!!).

Criticism is healthy when it comes to company life. If someone's baby is ugly, it doesn't matter.. You see, your kid is not a product or service (I HOPE!!!!). Calling someone's baby ugly is not constructive criticism. What can a parent do? Give his kid plastic surgery? And even if they could, why would they. They don't have to profit from their kid. Only on a happiness way, which doesn't mean their kid has to look good to make them feel good. So, if your company gets criticism, it might be healthy to listen to it. If it's based on nothing, let it slide. If it's well constructed, think about it and try to improve (if it falls under the direction you'd still want to go). If someone plainly says, your product or service is going to fail, he's either right, OR, you'll have someone to prove wrong. But just saying it's crap doesn't help you. Why do you think it's crap? Why do you think I will fail? Maybe they'll give you valid points that you completely overlooked. It might save you a lot of time, stress and money. But don't give up if you believe otherwise. PROVE THEM WRONG. RUB IT IN THEIR FACES! Honesty is good, let people speak their minds. Listen. Laugh about it, or do something with it. Giving someone critisism doesn't mean they don't like your baby. They might just have a really good point..
