I have just joined the firm for a few weeks coming outside of consulting. Today when I had a catchup session with a partner, he told me that he has overheard some negative feedback about me from a junior in my project team. Seems that the partner overheard this from another partner. In a nutshell - the feedback was I didn't lead the project well and manage junior members well.
While I admit these are things I am learning and improving, I have a mixed feeling about such blunt and direct feedback coming into my ears indirectly. I also feel uncomfortable that these feedback are diminishing my crediential. Would like to hear your advice - in consulting, is it usual for junior team members to give feedback about you directly to your boss? How do I face these critisim? Honestly speaking I feel a bit depressed but at the same time I think I should handle the critism positively. Thanks for your advice!
