When you disagree with the feedback from your manager

Here's what NOT to do if you get some feedback from your manager that you disagree with:

1. First, don’t completely dismiss or discount the feedback, saying something like, “that’s just wrong” or “absolutely not.”
2. Second, don’t become combative, saying something like, “Where did you come up with that?” or “are you kidding me?”
3. Third, don’t just give in or give up, saying something like, “fine, whatever, you’re right” or “why should I even bother to make my case?”
