When we ask for feedback on our work, we often receive poor quality feedback that makes us feel unhelpful, attacked, or defensive. One reason for this lies in the way we ask for feedback. Most requests are too general, too open-ended, and too late. As a result, you are more likely to get a lot of opinions rather than just insight. Instead of saying, “I'd appreciate it if you could provide me with feedback,” try encouraging the other person to add more value by being more specific about what you're looking for. This article outlines a three-step process for getting more constructive feedback that supports your growth, strengthens your relationships, and accelerates your career.
