Working Wounded Blog: Got Feedback?

March 14, 2007 — -- Last time, I talked about how most of us treat feedback like castor oil, something that may be good for you but is tough to swallow.

As a registered member of the Feedback Junkies, I solicited feedback from readers and colleagues. This week I'll review the most interesting comments, both good and bad, to hopefully inspire you to get out there and solicit some of your own feedback.

First, the questions that I asked people to respond to:

1. What do you like best about me?

2. If you had a magic wand, what would you like to change?

3. Do you have a favorite story that sums up the essence of who I am?

4. Anything else?

Readers' comments were uniformly upbeat. Sure I've gotten my share of flame e-mails in the past, but for some reason this week the missives were all kind. Here is a representative sample:

I guess it was a good week for readers of this blog.

My colleagues had a bit more to say. I'll group their comments with the questions above.
