On Accepting Feedback

"We all know we're supposed to love feedback. Mostly, we're trying to convince ourselves this is true when we offer, 'I appreciate feedback - especially the constructive kind. It helps me grow.'

"Good words, but you're not convincing any of us, much less yourself. 

"Imagine your boss drops you a message that reads, 'Let's connect at the end of the day. I've got some feedback for you.'

"Be honest, what's the first thing running through your mind? 

"Chances are, it's 'What did I do wrong?'"

In a recent commentary, leadership consultant Art Petty offered some suggestions on accepting quality feedback.
