Get in touch with colleagues who speak poorly

Criticism from colleagues may be due to lack of mutual understanding. It will be effective to actively contact with colleagues and take appropriate measures to remedy. The following example shows us a strategy to deal with a colleague who speaks ill. We might as well try it.

Franklin, a great scientist, met with great difficulties when he participated in the parliamentary election of a district. It turned out that a new congressman made a long speech against him, in which he criticized Franklin for nothing.

How difficult it is to meet such a rude colleague! What should we do?

"I'm certainly not happy with the opposition of this new member, but he's a lucky and learned gentleman who has a reputation and talent and a great place in the house," Franklin said. However, I never express a humble flattery to him in order to gain his sympathy and favor. I only use other appropriate methods after the next day. I remember someone once told me that there were some rare and valuable books in his library, so I wrote a short letter to him, stating that I wanted to read them, hoping that he would promise to lend them to me for a few days. He immediately sent the books. About a week later, I sent them back to him and attached a letter to express my thanks warmly. He didn't talk to me before, but the next time we met in the house, he ran up to me and shook hands with me. He was very polite. He also told me that he had to help me with everything, so we gradually became confidants and had a good friendship. "

Franklin's success is worthy of our reference. We should also use a similar strategy to deal with those colleagues who speak ill!
