Criticism can be positive or negative, yet it often has a negative connotation and is associated with blame and conflict. However, criticism is an important and helpful form of feedback in working life. Criticism is an indispensable corrective, especially when the employees of a company are given a high degree of personal responsibility. It is all the more important to formulate criticism in such a way that it is accepted by the other person. A good basis of trust helps, but is no guarantee that criticism will not escalate into conflict. So how should one deal with criticism? In episode 6 of the New Work Poscast vivere necesse est, Gunhard Keil and Sven Hauptmann discuss this delicate topic.
