7 Thoughts on Asking Others for Feedback

1) Why do it? Direct feedback is awesome for discovering additional paths for improvement.

2) Who you ask for input is as important as how many people you ask.

3) When considering the feedback received, be prepared to receive to separate the wheat from the chaff. Just because someone said something doesn’t mean it’s useful or true.

4) Soliciting someone’s opinion on what you did takes courage and humility. That alone deserves props.

5) Set aside your ego. Helpful whether you’re digesting or providing feedback.

6) Whenever possible, seek input from those you trust and respect.

7) Be grateful for whatever feedback you receive. You asked for it!
