Do you enjoy being corrected and disciplined by your boss? Discipline is an experience none of us enjoy.

However, scripture states, "For whom the Lord loves He reproves, even as a father, the son in whom he delights" (Proverbs 3:12 NASB).

Given that none of us are perfect, discipline will come our way at times, hopefully in a professional and consistent manner. When we are criticized, don't lash back. Don't be defensive. Listen to the comments carefully. When you are wrong, quickly admit your error, and resolve to correct your work. Then, thank your superior for pointing out the area in your work needing improvement. When we display this humble attitude, our boss will be amazed and impressed. Our stature will increase. Our work will improve from correcting and adjusting our work habits. While this attitude may be hard, as we learn to accept constructive criticism, our performance improves.
