Describe me a time when your work was criticized

How do you take criticism?
Do you justify your mistakes or learn from these?
Everyone makes mistakes. We are lucky to receive feedback, even if it bad. We can learn and improve from these honest feedback.
Share an incident and show what you learnt. Show you are human and are open to feedback to improve.
Do's
• Tell about a project where the performance was not up to mark
• Boss called you and shared negative feedback
• You were shocked, but kept calm.
• You listened and made an action plan to improve
• In next project you did better and excelled
Don'ts
• I am perfect and I don't take criticism
• I don't like that boss

The mistakes we make in our everyday life

We human beings engage in thinking and decision making in our daily life. It is our ability to solve problems and choose the best course of action, which leads to better outcomes. But we also make systematic errors when we think and at times we don’t even realize. We fail to think clearly because of our emotions such as anger or fear and this leads to wrong decision making as well as avoidable harm.

These systematic errors are known as biases. We can learn, understand to notice these biases within us and around us. Once we know, then we can also take action to avoid these biases, prejudices and beliefs and act to avoid the harm. Biases are systematic and predictable errors we make.
