I used to resist feedback. I would have rather not know than to hear something negative about me or my performance. Truthfully, I still don't crave criticism. But, I've learned that we always have choices when it comes to feedback. We can choose:
- How seriously we take it
- How personally we take it
- Whether or not we use it
- Whether or not we build our relationships with it
I'm sure you can think of even more choices.
Feedback gives us insights into our development. Seeing our level of development -- finding out what we've still got to learn and yes, reinforcing where we are already strong -- is excellent guidance. It's like finding treasure map, with your potential being the treasure.
I'm going to keep digging. How about you?
