Handle criticism

 

When You Agree with the Criticism

  • “I see your point — I can improve on that. Thanks for pointing it out.”

  • “You’re right, I missed that detail. I’ll fix it and make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

  • “I hadn’t noticed that, but I can see how it affected the outcome. I’ll adjust my approach.”

  • “That’s fair feedback — I’ll make it a priority to work on it.”

  • “I appreciate you bringing it up. I’ll address it before the next deadline.”


2. When You Partially Agree but Need Clarification

  • “I understand part of your concern. Could you share a specific example so I can address it more effectively?”

  • “I see where you’re coming from, and I’d like to understand more about what led to that impression.”

  • “That’s useful feedback — can we go over the details so I know exactly what to change?”

  • “I get the general point, but could you clarify the specific part you feel needs the most work?”

  • “Thanks — let’s unpack that together so I can be sure we’re aligned.”


3. When You Disagree (But Stay Professional)

  • “I hear your perspective, though my understanding is a bit different. Can I explain my view?”

  • “I appreciate the feedback — here’s what I was aiming for. Let’s see how we can align.”

  • “Thanks for sharing that. I think there may be another side to the situation — can we review it together?”

  • “I understand why it might have come across that way; here’s the reasoning behind my decision.”

  • “I value the input — perhaps we can compare our data and see where the gap is.”


4. When Criticism Comes in Public

  • “Thanks for the feedback — I’ll take note and follow up with you after the meeting.”

  • “I appreciate you raising that; I’ll look into it right away.”

  • “Good point — let’s discuss the details later so we can address it properly.”

  • “Understood — I’ll add that to my action items and circle back with you.”

  • “Thanks for catching that — we’ll fix it as soon as possible.”


5. When Criticism Feels Emotional or Harsh

  • “I’d like to understand your concerns fully — could we discuss this privately?”

  • “I hear that you’re frustrated — let’s work through what’s not working.”

  • “I appreciate the honesty. Let’s focus on what we can do to move forward.”

  • “It sounds like this has had a big impact. Let’s look for a solution together.”

  • “I want to make sure we address your main concerns — can you share them one by one?”
