Sometimes things don’t go the way you think they should.
Bad customer service, a broken website, you get the idea.
People complain. I’d personally like to think that everyone is kind in their complaints, but it’s almost never the case.
I love the answer that Sheryl Sandberg gave to a question about scaleablity of a company/person.
“… people who can take feedback well are people who can learn and grow quickly.”
I wrote about this before here.
If one person took the time to write or complain, you can bet they aren’t the only one who feels that way. I know it can be hard to get past someone flinging crap, but if you can, you can often learn something useful.
Don’t miss the message for the attitude.
