Santiago was promoted to become the
head of their organization’s human resource department he was the youngest
amongst the aspirants. After his promotion a poison letter was circulated
besmirching his person and credibility. He took the attack on his person in
stride and treated it simply as part of the hazards of his new job.
Critics and criticism are part and
parcel of organization, they exist for only one reason and that is to bring you
down or even destroy you. However, would you allow your critics to bring you
down? Of course not! So what are you going to do? You don’t have to confront
them. You simply have to prove them wrong and you have to use them as
motivation to work even harder.
Many Leaders of managers commit the
mistake of stooping to the level of their critics. Therefore, they confront their
critics and this confrontation sometimes lead to verbal tussle or even physical
wrangle. But it should not go to that extent because the moment you confront
them you only are feeding their arrogance and their thirst for violence.
It’s useless to confront your critics
instead, prove them wrong by working hard: let your positive work attitude do
the talking. Thus, you take the high and educated road, the road where you will
earn respect and esteem from your superiors, peers and subordinates.
The road
which will lead you to another promotion when the right opportunity comes. –
