Managers, Can You Take Feedback From Employees?
I was just reading about a recent study which found that receiving employee feedback can actually make managers more effective at "coping with their emotions, empathising with individuals and resolving conflict." As a manager, how do you react to and treat feedback from employees? Are you open to and incorporate their suggestions or do you think of it as a mere formality? Or is it something you avoid altogether?

Having worked for a company who utilized 360 feedback and open discussions about feedback I am already attuned to giving/accepting feedback. Believe me, at first, it was difficult to deliver or receive, but after passing through the apprehension I now incorporate giving and receiving candid feedback into my everyday life, including my personal relationships. As a manager, it is particularly important for me to show openness to feedback. In the end, receiving positive or constructive feedback from my team only helps me.
Tip: Always, always say "Thank You" after receiving feedback from someone. This will signal the giver that you are open to feedback in the future .
