Champions thrive on feedback. However, only a few realize that not all feedback is created equal.
Any feedback or advice we receive from others could contain a combination of:
1. Agenda - the feedback provider is trying to push their own cause by nudging you in a certain direction
2. Perception - based on limited information and influenced by the biases of the feedback provider
3. Reality - backed by facts and examples as well as good understanding of the context and cause-effect relationship
***
As a first step, learn to identify and differentiate between these three. Then:
#agenda - filter it out
#perception - proactively minimize this by taking time to provide context and relevant facts to the feedback provider.
#reality - bury your ego, accept it as it is, and get working on remedial measures.
