I had the opportunity to chat with a number of people at the recent HR Technology Conference. After asking about the best feedback they have ever been given and the impact it had on their careers, I started to notice a common theme: the value of upward feedback.
Many of the folks I spoke with were in leadership positions. They were used to delivering great feedback, not receiving it. What was fascinating was that when they finally came up with an example of feedback they’d received, it wasn’t from a former leader or mentor. It came from those who now worked for them!
