This book gives practical advice for becoming a better recipient of feedback. I am not generally good at receiving feedback. And this book gave me some ideas to improve. Most of the advice in this book is one form or another of separating one's emotional reaction to feedback from the content of the feedback.

Thanks for the Feedback is a thoughtful approach to why and how to receive feedback, and what to do with it once received. It is evidence-based, very practical and with a strong theoretical foundation. I assigned it as one of the readings for my Interpersonal Leadership Skills class this past semester, and heard from multiple students how helpful it was to them. Seeking and receiving feedback gracefully and gratefully, may be one of the most difficult (and rare) things to do, whether in one's professional life or personal life. Stone and Heen go a long way to helping their readers with this challenging yet crucial part of life. Highly recommended for students, professionals, and anyone else who struggles with feedback.

This was a game-changer: It's the idea that we can learn to be better at receiving feedback and that we can teach others this skill as well. I'm in a school going through Adaptive Schools training, and I see a lot of application opportunities that fit with those skills (7 norms of collaboration) as well.
There are three types of feedback: Appreciation, Coaching, and Evaluation
We need to be able to listen to the type of feedback we are getting and know what type it is so we can receive it in the way the giver intended. We need to become adept at asking for feedback from others in the way that will be most meaningful to us. Do I really want to hear how to do something better, or do I just want some appreciation? Do I need to hear I've been working hard, or am I trying to learn something new? Will knowing how I rate within the organization or as a worker help me today, or do I want to be appreciated or coached instead?
For me, this (the beginning section of the book) was the most life-changing aspect. I hope to put some of these skills into practice so I can feel more in control when feedback comes my way.

One of the most practical books I’ve ever read. We’ll-grounded in the research and full of action steps anyone can use.
