Apply a "2%true" mindset

Ask yourself this: “If I had to admit that 2% of the feedback were true, what 2% would it be?”. This gives you the opportunity to reflect on the overall feedback, and look for parts of it where maybe (just maybe) you can see yourself in there.

For example, if your boss says, “You rushed through the client pitch” and you think you spoke at a reasonable pace, perhaps you could admit that you were a little nervous. Once you do that, be willing to share that with your boss and start from there.

 If, after your conversation, your manager backs down because you helped them see it your way, congratulations. And, in the likely event that this doesn’t happen, make a plan with your manager for you to try the new or different approach—but to check back in soon about how it’s going.

If you get nonspecific, not clear feedback like, “you’re not being proactive enough” you’re going to need to dig a bit.

  • Make a request such as, “can you share with me a specific example of when you think I could have been more proactive?”
  • Or you can even say, “I ...

Find common ground

As much as you may find little merit in your manager’s feedback, look for any areas of agreement—no matter how small.
