There are a handful of issues that men need to consistently address in leadership roles, none of them following a 1-2-3 formula. One of those is handling criticism.

I can't write on this any better than some others have done. Here are some recommended articles for you to print off and mark up:

The issue becomes putting these ideas into practice in your life. Our pride makes this hard. That's where I find prayer is usually needed the most -- dealing with my pride first.
