Here's how you can enhance your own performance using feedback.

You can enhance your performance by actively seeking feedback, reflecting on it objectively, identifying areas for improvement, and taking actionable steps to implement changes and grow professionally.

I ask detailed questions to fully understand feedback, ensuring I address specific issues. Precision and clarity are crucial in our field, impacting patient safety and product efficacy.

Getting feedback is uncomfortable and that discomfort can affect our motivations. Asking questions for clarity is very different from asking questions to dismiss or invalidate. I say this because all humans do this, it’s a very natural psychological reaction. Building the skill of asking questions only for clarification and to ensure deep understanding is an ongoing practice that takes patience and commitment. The next time you’re getting feedback, try to take a pause and: 1. Rephrase what is being shared to get confirmation that you understand (or to see where you need more context) 2. Assume you are missing something 3. Notice the question/s you want to ask before asking - honestly examine the intent

Enhancing performance using feedback and seeking clarity involves a few key steps. Regularly ask for feedback from supervisors, peers, and stakeholders, and be open to their comments. Carefully review the feedback to identify areas for improvement, and set clear, realistic goals based on this feedback. Create and implement a detailed plan to achieve these goals, monitoring your progress regularly. If any feedback is unclear, seek further explanation to ensure full understanding. Continuously seek feedback to keep improving, and communicate openly with those providing feedback about your progress and any challenges. Following these steps will help you effectively enhance your performance.

"Receiving feedback isn't just about nodding along; it's about truly comprehending it. Whenever I get feedback, I make sure I'm crystal clear on every point. I ask questions, seek examples, and dig deep to grasp the context. This proactive stance isn't just about showing commitment; it's about turning vague feedback into actionable steps. Understanding leads to improvement, and that's my goal."

Part of this work IMO is learning the signs you show when becoming defensive. Does your heart race or your body tense up? Do you withdraw or immediately attack? We all have precursor behaviors that show up as defenses arise. Learning what these are can help to show up with grace and openness. Without knowing our signals, we can’t slow down and regulate our emotions. And with disregulated emotions, feedback cannot be constructive.

Absolutely! Constructive feedback is the cornerstone of personal and professional growth. While it's not always easy to hear, I've learned to embrace it as a catalyst for improvement. Accepting feedback gracefully fosters a culture of open dialogue and trust within teams. It's about acknowledging the giver's perspective and using it to refine our skills and approaches. By staying open-minded, we pave the way for continuous learning and development. Let's embrace feedback as a gift and propel ourselves towards excellence together!

Accepting feedback gracefully involves several key steps. First, listen actively and avoid interrupting or becoming defensive. Thank the person for their input, showing appreciation. Stay open-minded and consider the feedback, even if it's hard to hear. Ask questions for clarification and specific examples. Acknowledge the feedback without making excuses and share your understanding. Reflect on the feedback, create a plan to address it, and implement changes. Finally, follow up to show your progress and gratitude. These steps help you use feedback effectively to improve your performance.

One way to ensure you’re reflecting with honesty is to look for the ways you need to grow. If you noticed defensiveness around a certain word or topic, you likely have some growth to do in that area. If you’re reflecting with the lens of redeeming yourself or avoiding shame, this is helpful information. It shows that you’re not currently able to honestly reflect. It’s a great sign to take a step back and get the support you need so you can tackle the feedback in a way that benefits you and everyone around you. Honest reflection is really hard work. Openness and remembering that mistakes don’t define your character is key. We all need feedback to grow. Your character shows in how you show up and what you do next.

To reflect feedback honestly, establish a trustful environment where employees feel safe sharing their thoughts. Use effective strategies like asking insightful questions and actively listening. Respond positively by acknowledging and expressing gratitude. Take action on the feedback by making tangible changes. Communicate effectively before, during, and after the process. Keep feedback confidential or anonymous. Invest in relationships by showing genuine interest in employees. Model honest feedback and reward those who provide it. These steps create an environment where honest feedback is valued and used for growth.

I critically assess my strengths and weaknesses without bias. Honest reflection helps identify gaps in my knowledge and performance, driving continuous improvement

When feedback comes knocking, I embrace it with open arms. Taking a moment to truly absorb what others have to say allows me to see myself from a different angle. It's like holding up a mirror to my actions and behaviors. Do they reflect who I want to be? Am I living up to my own standards? These questions fuel my introspection. I don't just accept feedback; I digest it, mull it over, and let it shape my path forward. Because in the end, honest reflection isn't just about hearing what others have to say—it's about using that insight to become the best version of myself.

Eu sempre presto muita atenção ao comportamento dos demais quando reagem as minhas ações. Nem sempre a intenção que nos move é a mesma percebida pelos outros. Coloque no seu plano de ação um momento para refletir sobre como as pessoas reagem, o que elas sentem depois de interagir contigo.

Reflecting on feedback is crucial for growth. After considering insights, I craft a solid action plan. Specific, measurable goals guide me, ensuring progress and accountability. I seek extra training, adjust workflows, and hone communication skills. An active approach transforms feedback into performance enhancement.

One sentence summarizes it: Move from knowing to going. Sounds easy, but it isn't. Therefore start implementing your plans! Günter

I prioritize feedback and create a structured plan to implement necessary changes. This ensures I actively work towards enhancing my performance, contributing to better outcomes in the medical devices industry.

Depois de elaborar o seu plano de ação baseado nos feedbacks que recebe estabeleça as prioridades das ações. Comece pelas ações mais fáceis de implementar e vá aumentando a dificuldade com o tempo, sem perceber você irá transformar o plano em pratica e evoluir muito como profissional.

Dies ist ein iterativer Prozess. Zu Beginn können Änderungen besonders schwierig erscheinen, da sich das neuronale Netzwerk im Gehirn noch nicht vollständig entwickelt hat und die neue Gewohnheit noch nicht unterbewusst ausgeführt wird. Deshalb ist Wiederholung der Schlüssel zum Erfolg.

"Utilizing feedback effectively isn't just about hearing it; it's about acting on it. Start by making small, manageable adjustments and allow yourself time to adapt. Change doesn't happen overnight. It's a journey requiring consistent effort. Understand that it's an ongoing process; keep reviewing your progress and fine-tune your strategy as needed. Ultimately, it's about driving improvement and achieving better results."

In my experience, seeking feedback is like tuning an instrument - it helps you fine-tune your performance. Embracing feedback creates a cycle of growth where every insight becomes a stepping stone to improvement. I've found that genuine appreciation for feedback encourages others to share their thoughts openly. Actively listening and acting upon suggestions demonstrates commitment to growth, fostering trust and collaboration. Through this iterative process, I've become a better manager, constantly evolving to meet new challenges head-on. Let's keep the feedback loop alive, together we can reach new heights!

Feedback is a gift and don't take it personally. Feedback is an opportunity to have a dialogue and relationship with your supervisor and team. This is a good thing! It's a reflection of organizational culture. Imagine if you never heard anything positive or negative about your performance. No "good job" or "let's work on X,Y,Z". The gift of feedback will help you succeed in your role with an organization and has nothing to do with who you are as a person.

Learn from errors. When users point out factual errors or misleading information, training data can be updated with the correct information. If feedback suggests that you lack knowledge on a particular topic, new information should be incorporated into the training data to improve future responses.
