Here’s the reality:
Feedback is everywhere, but not always useful. It’s become so common that discerning valuable insights from noise is tougher.
Feedback isn’t always a badge of honor; it often highlights mistakes or areas for improvement.
Consider this—do you want to be seen as someone who frequently errs or leaves room for improvement? Or as someone who strives to minimize mistakes and maximize quality?
Feedback should be on your terms. It’s most valuable when sought, not when unsolicited. If your plate is full, it’s okay to say, “Not now.”
When you run a startup, like Dukaan introducing an AI chatbot and cutting down support staff, feedback is crucial—but only for the aspects you’re ready to evolve.
The takeaway:
Manage feedback actively. Less, but more focused feedback can be more beneficial than constant, overwhelming input.
Feedback is good, less feedback is best.
