H/T to our friends at Imagine Scholar for posting this article by Tanner Christensen, Product Designer at Facebook. Risk and feedback are essential to growth. In this article, the author explores situations in which the smartest move may be to ignore the criticism as not helpful.

Our thoughts: Be aware of trends in critiques. Ask a peer or mentor if you’re not certain whether the feedback is additive. Listen to your gut.

When you hear or give criticism you must consider whether it’s additive or generative—is it offering anything that can be built on?—or is it neutral or subtractive?
