One way suggested by training professionals is to 'sandwich' the "not-so-good news" (negative criticism) with positive remarks and feedback. Give a positive start and finish. The door is then open for further public (group) discussion or a chance of a word with yourself in private. \nIn trying to help your team improve, it is important that the criticism never becomes personal, only helpful. Otherwise, individuals will just give up trying to improve (which they may see as simply 'pleasing you') and become undermining and subversive, which helps nobody. Be fair and be SEEN to be fair.

The best question I have heard recently is "What is your greatest frustration?" The question gives keen insight into the employee's mind set, but also in how or if they overcame the frustration. I like the question because it is not a typical question and usually illicit a real response.

I think: Okay, let me think...........\n(and evaluate the stituation as to why it happened and how to fix it. Plus, try to fix it from happening again.) And if it's a difficult problem, I try to think of atleast 2-3 ways to try to fix the situation. So I've got 'fall back' solutions available if my first answer didn't work.\n\n\n\n Patzky, that's my new perfume do you like it???

No but I was accused of it.  That was really insulting, I mean its as if the teacher didnt believe I was capable of high calibre work so I must have cheated.  I was so angry honestly because I would never have done that and there I was having to prove myself when I'd never ever given anyone a reason to think that.  Im still holding a grudge obviously lol.  I never even got an apology after I showed tons of my rough work.

Say this:\n"If you hate me so much, is Hatorade your favorite?  Also when you say you are so ballistic with me then why do you even take the time to write me an email?  Would you stop being a two year old toddler?  Seems like you have nothing better to do so stop hating and back off, because girl you ain't seen nothing yet!"\n\n               You go girl, I know you can do it!  Fire at her and she really ain't seen nothing yet so throw her way off course and let's see how that loser reacts!

Haha...one in particular that I asked comes to mind.  I think I was having a bad day or something.  Oh well.  In some Q & A's I seem very sensible and nice (at least I think I do!) and others I sound like a complete b!tch...or a smart@ss.  I think things just slip out!  Sorry for the not-so nice ones, everyone.

My biggest hurdle in life has been learning patience and self-control.\n\nI struggle with it, but I am doing far better than just a couple of years ago.\n\n.

Actually, I have recently taken the current Bush administration's approach with pretty electrifying results:  First, deny the accusation.  Then, quickly choose a subject to talk about that is related but does not directly address the issue.  And lastly, end my retort with a personal attack on the person doing the criticizing.  \nMy only struggle has been that because I choose my friends so specifically, there is no criticism to deal with.  No wonder he's so good at it!

Resentment.\n\nUgh!\n\nAnd I hate it because I know it doesn't do any good and I only hurt myself.  But I find myself feeling resentful of others who don't do their fair share or don't take things that are important to me seriously.\n\nThe worst is the resentment that says, "I'm not going to budge till you do."  It can only go downhill from there.\n\nI think the whole concept of "turning the other cheek" is not that we let others walk all over us, but that we're strong enough to say, "I'm not going to let your bad behavior bring me down to your level."  It's refusing to indulge in resentment and vengeance.

I've stubbed my toes on a lot of things, but the worst was when I stubbed my PINKY TOE (the weakest of them all) on our foot-stool leg. I went to say god-dam*ed mother f-er, but my mom was in the room and i ended up saying something more along the lines of "god-dan mmmmmmmmfffffer" She just stared at me.\n\nThe best was when in a really random moment I cried out "flibber-me-jibblets". It was so funny I kept it with me and I still use it every now and then. Although around the time it first happened I would say it without thinking about it.
