We don’t like feedback, mostly because when we do something we have a justification to why we did it that way, yet, if it doesn’t meet other’s expectations we get the feedback anyway.
At the same time, feedback is important and helps make things better in general.
Maybe feedback should just be internal? Meaning we and only we assess our performance… instead of getting feedback externally from people / or maybe just ignore external feedback? Feels wrong though.
If that’s the case, this really means that we need to have metrics, and time set aside to assess our performance, which is not always available or easy.

We should be open minded to constructive feedback or criticism. It can help us grow and see a different prospective.
I always encourage constructive feedback. However, it must be delivered to support growth. There is nothing worse than receiving feedback with the intention to make you feel little or inadequate. Sadly, people like the latter exist. When it comes to performance, it is important that clearly define metrics are communicated, properly understood, achievable and manageable. I have seen companies create so much high expectations from their people, giving them less control and high deliverables with no proper support. This is when talented people leave companies. ❤️👌
