Jeff Bezos shares his advice for dealing with criticism
|
Posted By: How May I Help You NC on October 30, 2018 Alex Wong | Getty Images Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, founder of space venture Blue Origin and owner of The Washington Post, participates in an event hosted by the Air Force Association September 19, 2018 in National Harbor, Maryland. Amazon announced this week that it is raising the minimum wage of all U.S. employees to $15, effective next month. To some, it was the subject of praise. While to others, it was an overdue concession to criticism. As founder and CEO of the tech giant, Jeff Bezos is used to dividing views. According to Bezos, that's all part of the process of being a leader, and it can actually be helpful, too. "If you're going to do anything new or different in the world, it is going to be misunderstood, sometimes by well-meaning critics, sometimes by self-interested critics. It's okay, it's all part of the process," Bezos said Tuesday at a gala organized by the Partnership for Public Service. More: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/04/amazon-ceo...
