Get and Give Feedback
Surveys from Lowe’s to just about everywhere online
Why? Because it’s so important to not just work efficiently
but to make sure you’re pursuing the right objective and in the
right manner
I manage projects and critical aspect of my job is defining
early and accurately what my customer or stakeholder needs and
wants as project deliverables
Making assumptions or rushing to the execution phase are two
big errors which lead to poor results and damaged business
relationships
On this topic I recommend recent episode of the Emotionally
Healthy Podcast called The Life Changing Skill of Clarifying
expectations”
This is what emotionally mature individuals do, and one of the
axioms on that podcast is that you can’t be spiritually mature
unless you’re emotionally mature
Asking for feedback
Talking too loud
Too harsh in a meeting
Give feedback (solicited and unsolicited)
I've worked where we receive emails from managers asking me to
give feedback to their direct reports soon after working with
them. I try to always give that feedback and to make it
meaningful not just vanilla and predictable
How is very important
" Humble yourselves in the
sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up." - James 4:10
"Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates
correction is stupid." - Proverbs 12:1
So provide feedback through surveys when you can as a gift to
others, but also seek feedback about yourself and never be afraid
to face the music of truth when it comes to our behavior and how
our behavior is received by others.
