Including myself – I fail time after time. I try to give a good feedback but in bad form and ruin everything, I try to provide negative feedback but try to soften it and it becomes useless. Providing constructive feedback is not easy at all. May be that is the reason people afraid to hear the feedback as you mention? That is why I adopted this radio dial technique and tune into positive way, no matter how the feedback is expressed, I try to extract the value out of it, the intention.

It is natural to think we are doing things right, but to be told we are not can cause anxiety in most people. But you are right, the truth of the matter is we need to have the feedback to make changes and improve. Great Article. Alik,

Resonates a lot with me. I just like letting my "customers" focus on what they love/hate more with me. That is why I ask such synthetic/broad questions. Once they nailed the topic - i delve into specifics - just like you suggest. I let drive my "customers" their satisfaction from me, after all I need to satisfy *them* :). If I ask specific question off the start, chances I missed more important areas my “customers” might be concerned of. Mike, great feedback. Resonates a lot with me.

What you DO is very important. Its not a feeling, appreciation, peice of advice or any other interpretive item. Its about what you DO or DON'T DO that can be changed. Ask specifically for feedback that are observations in how you talk, walk, focus, respond, listen, work, play, challenge, ask questions and everything else you DO.
