The Power of Positive Criticism

Rating:
Summary: A delightful commentary on how to take and give criticism.
Review: Dr. Weisinger has done it again. He has taken an emotionally charged issue and, through anecdotes and plain speaking, made criticism something that one ought to embrace. I loved it, and immediately refered it to 49 of my closest friends, as well as my HR Director.

Summary: A Good Read!
Review: Hendrie Davis Weisinger is simple, clear and very focused as he applies recent "emotional intelligence" techniques to the specific area of criticism, and helps the reader think of criticism as a valuable, vital tool, and not just a necessary evil. The tips in this self-improvement book push the reader toward greater self-awareness, a major element of emotional intelligence. The suggestions are elemental, most of them are easy to implement and even the hardest ones to enact require only a modest time commitment. The book's message is consistent to the point of repetition, though its simple language gives it real power. We [...] recommend this book to anyone who gives or receives criticism, which is to say, everyone. In particular, if you are a manager, an executive and or supervisor who deals with difficult personalities, here's how to tell them what you need them to know.
