How to get Feedback?

  Do not fell to control your defensiveness. The nature of the majority of the people is to avoid hurting and having a conflict with you. Or suffer from your defensive or justifying behavior. This situation will make people hesitate to tell you what you do not like to hear, criticizing feedback.  If you can create an image of an approachable person,  you will have more feedback and advice from your boss and other supervisors. By “fighting back” the feedback by being angry, justifying and excuse-making of any critics you will lose the opportunity to learn and correct your performance and contribution in your workplace.

How To Gracefully Give Constructive Criticism

1. Listen to get it understood. Apply all your abilities to listen and absorb what you are told, including giving high attention to the speaker’s body language and facial expression. Your body language and facial expression are essential too. Your listening or not can be detected easily by your experienced boss. Let the person in front of you feel listened with interest.
2. Listening to what you are told in the feedback, will allow you to learn about yourself, and how people see you. Noted consultant and author, Tom Peters, noted consultant and author, said, “Perception is all there is.”  Listening to the feedback is like looking at the mirror before going out. Do not ignore what you see in the mirror.  It is vital for your career growth.
3. Take what you are told as data to process and analyze for your growing the organization.  The person that provided you with the feedback did it as part of his or her job responsibility, and have a personal interest to see you improving under is supervision.  Your success is your boss success too.  Sowing that you do listen and your gratitude will make your manager happy.   Do not hear this voice in your brain that tells you to argue, deny or try to oppose the feedback. Concentrate on understanding what you are told and get the right conclusions.  Ask detailed questions and show that you are taking the feedback seriously.
4. Your question should be made only to clarify details you do not understand.  Focus on understanding the feedback not on responding in defense of your pride.
5.   Ask the feedback provider for examples and stories that can illustrate what you are told, so you will be sharing the ideas and meaning with the person that provided the feedback.
6.  When somebody is in a position to feedback on your activity at the workplace, it does not Mean he or she think like you. Nor be right or agreed by the rest of the team. Do not forget that they see your activity with different eyes and other life experience different than yours.
7.  Avoid being grumpy and dismissive. If you want to receive honest and open feedback, be approachable. You will have feedback that may open your eyes to your mistakes and let you know what advantages you have. Being open to hearing feedbacks is evident through your body language, facial expressions and the way you welcome the feedback. You can go straight and ask more directly for an opinion, asking your boss “Mr. Robert, how did I do on that presentation? Was I clear?
8.  Do not take the feedback without double checking; check with your colleagues about the reliability of the feedback you have received. If only one co-worker recognized that it is about you. Look at what is happening, and try to understand why it happened.
9. This feedback was made on you and for you only. It is up to you to make use of it or dump it. Check carefully why your team members think that it is not something that shows who you are. You can go to the person that made the feedback and ask for more explanation, do not just dump it.
