I got feedback at work that stung. As close to the exact words as I can remember: . It came from . My honest first reaction: . Don’t take my side, and don’t take theirs either. Sort the feedback into three parts: what is probably fair, what is unclear and needs a question, and what looks more like their preference than my problem. For each, say what you’re basing it on, since you only have my version. Then give me one question to ask them that would make the feedback specific, and one thing to do differently in the next two weeks. Be direct. No padding and no reassurance I did not ask for.
