We always expect tremendous criticism. It is my role to be the lightning rod ... to attract the attacks against the organization for our work, and that is a difficult role. On the other hand, I get undue credit.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Especially when you're at a high level in an organization, criticism can be devastating to an employee. I prefer to praise employees for what they're doing right, and it tends to lead to them doing more of the same. Not always, but it's the way I choose to bet.
I always take criticism as a challenge. It's the way I've always looked at it.
To all my critics, you get paid to be negative.
I like criticism. It makes you strong.
I think the big thing I've had going for me in that regard has been the success of the league. I don't have quite as much control over things as people believe, so I frequently receive more credit than I deserve, and occasionally more criticism as well.
People frequently ask me if adverse criticism bothers me. I've had a lot of it, and I have been able to shrug most of it off.
I have been both praised and criticized. The criticism stung, but the praise sometimes bothered me even more. To have received such praise and honors has always been puzzling to me.
People ask for criticism, but they only want praise.
Criticism can be devastating. When push comes to shove, we are all very sensitive.
I love criticism just so long as it's unqualified praise.
