Question
In "Dare to Lead", Brené Brown emphasizes the importance of feedback in leadership. One key example is the concept of "rumbling with vulnerability", which involves leaders opening themselves up to feedback, even if it's uncomfortable or challenging. This is demonstrated by the idea of reminding oneself that they are brave enough to listen to feedback, and that they can take what is valuable and leave the rest. Another example is the practice of "Living into our Values", where leaders are encouraged to reflect on the feedback received and integrate it into their actions and behaviors, demonstrating accountability.
This question was asked on:
Receiving feedback is tough because we cannot control the skill of the person giving it or know what their intentions really are.

Your ultimate aim is to listen, to integrate the feedback, and to reflect it back with accountability.
