Embrace Criticism and Self-Criticism for Team Growth

Adversity can be a learning opportunity and fuel for competitive spirit. Leaders should be comfortable apologizing and self-criticizing in front of their teams, as it shifts the culture towards openness to criticism and feedback. A culture of feedback, encompassing both praise and criticism, is essential for organizational greatness. Criticism is seen as an investment in growth and authenticity, and for this to be fully established, leaders must be willing to self-criticize.
