[quote=Anonymous]I would move.

However, when someone tells you that people are not comfortable asking for your help and your first impulse to to find out who complained so that you can give your side of the story, that gives me the impression that you  are defensive and don't take constructive criticism.  I think your response should have been to ask for general example of things that you have done that have made people uncomfortable to approach you.  You don't need to know who specifically said what or information on specific incidents.  Once you heard what he had to say, you could decide whether the points were valid or not, but your approach shut down the conversation.

When I was younger, my response to this situation would have been exactly as you have described your response.  Over time, however, I have learned to be less defensive.  Sometimes the people providing criticism were right and sometimes they were wrong, but my career benefited from being perceived as someone who was willing to accept criticism.[/quote]
