Overcoming resistance to feedback involves both personal and organizational strategies:
Embrace a Growth Mindset: Leaders should cultivate a growth mindset, viewing feedback as an opportunity for improvement rather than criticism. Build Trust: Establishing a culture of trust within the organization encourages open communication and makes feedback more acceptable. Seek Feedback Proactively: Leaders who actively seek feedback demonstrate vulnerability and a commitment to personal growth, making it easier to accept and act on feedback. Reflect and Act: Taking time to reflect on the feedback and creating an action plan can help leaders integrate feedback effectively into their leadership practices.
