I recently surveyed 125 people regarding their experience of receiving feedback. The results were interesting, and in some cases, not what I expected.
The surprising result was only 3% of people reported that they ‘were terrible at receiving feedback’.
Over one third (38%) of people reported they were positive about receiving feedback, ‘Great – in general, I love it’.
The majority (58%) of people stated they were ‘Ok – sometimes – it depends’.
How people receive feedback depends on many factors – examples include:
How the feedback is delivered
Who is giving the feedback
If the feedback is useful
How true (you believe) the feedback is
How you feel at the time
When the feedback was delivered
What are your ‘it depends’?
