Every piece of feedback that we receive is another learning point and thereby accelerates our individual and organizational growth. Today, we will discuss the different areas that we can obtain more feedback.

Situations where the feedback provided was not constructive can be viewed as disadvantageous, but if non-constructive feedback is digested appropriately, the feedback recipient can elevate her or his communication and problem solving capabilities.

There are many ways to give feedback, but deconstructing the idea together will lead to the greatest personal development from the team member. Deconstructing an idea involves requesting for the team member's underlying logic, distinguishing correct and incorrect pieces, and then suggesting that the team member rebuilds the idea given our discussion.

If we only execute great work and are not getting the appropriate feedback, our learning and professional development will begin to stagnate. If we are not learning and progressing, we will not receive high impact projects; or if we do, we will not perform as well on them. If we are not excelling in increasingly difficult projects, we will not progress professionally. So in order to continue learning, improve our perception to management, and thereby accelerate professionally, we need to harvest feedback.

The goal is to have people discover WHY and HOW to improve. From this discovery, the conversation can trend towards next steps naturally. I use the word discover as opposed to explain, because we are not telling people they are wrong, we are providing the logical framework for them to understand how to trend towards perfection.
