Constructive Criticism can help to improve the way you work. Nevertheless, it is not very popular in perfectionist Germany. It is different in other countries.
Some time ago, in my column in the daily newspaper “Die Welt” about the American Feedback-Culture written. A topic that is obviously topical in Germany: Shortly thereafter, Medium magazine also reported on the American culture of innovation and feedback in Silicon Valley.
Obviously, other countries manage to do something the Germans still struggle with: there is a successful feedback culture there. But why is that? And how do you become more productive in this country through criticism?
In Texas - whose capital Austin is not called Silicon Hills for nothing - I noticed that it is common practice there customers to request feedback. There is even an active demand for it. Even in restaurants you should fill out feedback forms - something that is still a rarity in Germany and Switzerland.
I'm just thinking of the many training providers who, for purely formal reasons, have feedback forms filled out by some certificationRegulate are mandatory. Feedback as a necessary evil, so to speak. And the reaction is correspondingly panicked when well-founded criticism is actually leveled.
In the US, however, criticism is a normal part of culture. It is dealt with accordingly loosely. Successful Companies like Google even draw their innovation potential from it. In which Internet- Giants, and not only there, new products are launched as beta products and then comprehensively evaluated by customers. This is the only way to create those innovative ones ideas, which make Google one of the most successful companies of our time.
In Germany, unfortunately, people often find it difficult to accept criticism. Because the prevailing culture of perfectionism doesn't allow for any mistakes. Dealing with feedback is correspondingly difficult for the individual: both the feedback giver and the feedback recipient are often unsure how to deal with it. So reported Executives-Coach Sabine Lanius in an article Best of HR – Berufebilder.de®
“I keep meeting leaders who are uncomfortable giving feedback feel…and again and again Employeesthat almost already Anxiety before feedback."
What can you do to reduce the fear of criticism? Communicating feedback correctly is the answer. And react correctly. Because then there is no feedback Problem, but makes work more productive.
