Recommendation

Many top executives share a little-known trait: They are “feedback magnets”; that is, they invite their bosses and colleagues to share feedback at every turn, and they remain steadfast in their quest for self-improvement. While business books on how to give feedback abound, few broach the subject of how to ask for it. Shivani Berry, the founder and CEO of an online leadership organization, offers guidance on seeking and embracing critique. According to Berry, you can’t learn and grow if you aren’t aware of your blind spots.

Take-Aways

  • “Feedback magnets” rise through the ranks by soliciting and acting on critique.
  • View constructive criticism as a learning opportunity, not as a slight against your character.
  • To encourage your colleagues to provide feedback, remove any obstacles preventing them from being candid.
