Re: Lets get to the bottom of it.

Nice twist to our discussion. In fact very important twist.

What I think:

1. "We" are not trained on "soft skills" formally in our schools
2. Specifically, we are not trained on how to give/receive objective feedback
3. We learn the ropes ourselves by watching others. While this diversity is welcome, we also fall short in dealing with larger and/or diverse groups
4. We tend to treat feedback as "criticism" more often than needed
5. Managing feedback is a core strength of any "team"
6. Mastering this skill is essential to progress any career

What I would like to know:

1. All stereo types are to be avoided where we can.  I just used one above in explaining our situatation by saying "we" (Please read that as some of us- if you need to). Does the behavior of how one handles feedback depend on formal education/ society/ .../ region/ counrty?
2. What role "ego" plays in handling discussions/feedback?
3. What other factors influence how one handles feedback?
4. How best to educate ourselves and others on this?

I appreciate your thoughts.

Chandu
