Here's how you can professionally and constructively handle feedback you disagree with.

In almost all cases, feedback should be welcome. Whether one agrees with it or not, it teaches you many things. Not least among it is the other person's view point. Here's some thoughts on how to deal with any feedback: 1. Listen fully and reflect on it before rushing in to defend/ explain. 2. Reflect on who you are receiving the feedback from. Is it someone who is learned and experienced in this domain? 3. What forum are you receiving the feedback? In an open forum, you might earn more respect by saying something like, "I value your opinion. But let's agree to disagree for now and I will setup some time with you to discuss further.

We should know that the language in which we are having conversations may not be native language for both the participants. There might be a limitation in vocabulary. There might be cultural difference. If we allow other to complete there thought and listen actively it may be in line with your perceptive but said or put differently

Feedback is crucial to personal development! This is how one person sees "You" in an environment. We live in a world of audiences and it is what we project, that the world sees. It is always nice to hear positive feedback but it takes real courage to hear what someone really thinks about you if the feedback is negative but more importantly, is that how you want to be seen, or viewed by the world?

I have typically found that feedback is a gift, and that taking time to reflect on it, is helpful. In the heat of the moment there is a often a temptation to interject or to be defensive, and that needs to be resisted. My thinking is informed by a growth mindset, a willingness to be open and to learn. My experience over several decades is that the quality of feedback received is often of variable, however you typically gain a helpful insight into how the feedback giver thinks, and that can often be useful. Remain curious, seek feedback and enjoy the experience.

The way you are perceived is vital to communicating your message. Gaining this insight only helps you through your career growth.

When hearing something we don't agree with, we often get stuck only seeing our perspective. I think it's important to recognize and validate the other person's opinion to understand how they got there. Asking questions of them help you better understand the feedback. Some that have worked effectively for me are: * What are you seeing that I don't see? * Can you provide a specific example so I have a better understanding of your viewpoint? * In order for me to fully understand, what would I do differently in this scenario? * What do you need from me in order for us to both be successful?

Asking questions to clarify some points before giving your feedback/point of view is very important to ensure your understanding is correct, try to avoid the assumption; because it will drag the discussion to an argument and debate. * Focus on the facts rather than assumptions/point of views. * Make your intention (if possible) to reach the Win-Win situation rather than the Win-Lose situation. * Try to reach any benefit from this discussion such as; lesson learned, advice/feedback, improvement in the procedures for the future, etc......

- Never make assumptions before you speak. - To ensure you understood correctly, ask them follow up questions. - Don't get defensive; polite state your point of view if you still disagree. - Say, "I understand your point here, however I've got a different perspective ... " - End your opinions with, "What do you think about this?" to foster clearer communication and openness in the conversation.

I think asking questions is also key , but how you ask them will determine if an argument breaks out! So be gentle, ask questions without pointing a finger, repeat back to them what they have said & ask them what they mean by this , but try not to be aggressive , keep your tone light. This will also show them you have listened because your quoting what they said , your giving them space to feel a Kurd and heard, and you would also like that respect to be reciprocated.

Ask open ended questions to better understand context. Remember that the quality of your question impacts the answers that come your way. As Tony Robins said in his book, the Giant Within, that questions are the answers.

When responding to feedback, acknowledging the fair points raised is crucial for fostering growth and demonstrating maturity. By recognizing the validity in certain aspects of the feedback, you signal an openness to learning and evolving. Embracing constructive criticism, even when difficult, exemplifies your commitment to improvement and can strengthen professional relationships. Engaging with feedback in a reflective and considerate manner paves the way for meaningful growth opportunities.

If we have a rational approach, even if the person who is giving their feedback, we may not like them personally. But we will take the fair points & thank them in return for taking their time & giving us their inputs. But if we see it in an emotional way, we may see only the person whom we don't like & our big fat ego will come into the picture. When ego comes, we cannot see anything logical & practical.

This is a great point. Acknowledging the fact in a feedback expresses one's maturity, emotional intelligence and growth mindset. If a feedback is valid, do the following: 1. Acknowledge and appreciate the speaker 2. Give a response where there is a context to the action or behaviour. 3. Express willingness to change and imbibe a better approach to things. 4. Seek for more information on the where necessary. 5. Walk the talk by genuinely working towards improvement.

Acknowledge fair points is a reflection of professionalism of a person in a topic, always open to learn from different perspective of the conversation as that will not only show one is listening fully but also it reflects a person to continue learning as learning is a lifelong attitude that one should adopt.

Desde mi experiencia cómo médico esto es muy importante y lo aplicamos todo el tiempo cuando estás estudiando. Pues en medicina 2 + 2 no siempre son 4 y también hay que aceptar que cada día la ciencia y la medicina avanzan a pasos agigantados. Así que me ha tocado un montón de veces, aceptar que tal tratamiento es mejor que el otro. O que lo que pensé de la fisiopatología de una enfermedad en el pregrado es totalmente diferente en el postgrado, así es todo en la vida. Hay que aprender a aceptar los puntos de vista, ver en que estamos de acuerdo, discutir los que no y llegar a un consenso.

While explaining your point of view - Remember be professional - Don't be personal with other person - Don't get emotional, even if other person not get agreed with you - Accept any fault on your side - Remember you can't articulate even if you're right, if you're not confident or getting emotionaly stable.

Also, keep your mind /head and your voice 'level'. Maintaining your composure by not allowing a difference of opinion or thought to affect the delivery of your viewpoint is just as important as the delivery [itself].

I agree with this point. The feedback may have been given from the lens of the speaker. Make your view without being defensive or offensive but constructive.

A calm tone and narrative explanation skill is needed in a detail explanation without talking about the same topic beating around the bush. That will not only add in constructive mutual agreement in a conversation, but that will also bring respect to your audience in a conversation.

Explain not justify. You played your the cards you had that were not the same that the other had. It’s maybe an opportunity to invite for a close relationship in-terms of sharing valuable information to avoid future problems.

In this, our point of view may be accepted or rejected. We should be open for any results. We should not go with preconceived thoughts or judgements. If there is acceptance we can always think about the way forward. If not, we will be stuck in that zone & may not move out as well

Nada como escuchar y entender el puesto de vista del otro primero, poniéndote en su lugar, aunque no estés de acuerdo, para poder plantearle después tu punto de vista. Siempre primero entender para después ser entendido como decía Stephen Covey. Con asertividad y evitando el sincericidio porque no vemos la realidad como es, la vemos como somos👂🏽

Be aware of who / where the feedback is coming from. While all feedback is valuable, some individuals may be more familiar with the topic at hand and their feedback should be promptly assessed (for example, an executive team member). On the other hand, someone who is less familiar with the project may offer objective comments, but they do not need to be promptly acted upon (passing commentary from an employee in another department). Do a self-check on whether the feedback warrants a formal and prompt response or if it is something that can be handled with a simple, "Thanks for sharing. We'll make note of this for the future."

Consider the sandwich method. Say something nice, and then insert your opposition opinion. Then round up with something positive. This works most of the time!

Según mi criterio debemos tener en cuenta: 1. La libertad de expresión 2. El respeto y los límites 3. El aprendizaje que cada perspectiva aborda

Keeping your composure ensures the conversation remains productive. Demonstrate a commitment to continuous improvement by regularly seeking feedback and actively working on areas of development.
