How to Get Better at Taking Feedback
Doug Stone and Sheila Heen are the authors of the book Thanks for the Feedback: The Science and Art of Receiving Feedback Well.
In their book, they explain why receiving feedback is so crucial yet so challenging. They offer a simple framework and powerful tools to help us take on life’s blizzard of offhand comments, annual evaluations, and unsolicited input with curiosity and grace. They blend the latest insights from neuroscience and psychology with practical, hard-headed advice.
