“Gerid is a great employee and an asset to any organization. Gerid has an amazing work ethic and knows how to get results. I like how persistent and resilient Gerid is. I had the good fortune of working with Gerid on a cause that is near and dear to his heart which is helping people with hearing loss communicate effectively and independently on the telephone.

Sometimes 1 idea co-opted by a team and everyone jumps on board rather than giving individual thoughts and potentially missing out on good feedback. Also consider your own responses to the feedback. It can be hard when receiving negative feedback and some tend to make excuses or explain away everything. This also supresses feedback. All feedback is good feedback and make sure you show your appreciation or soon you find yourself with no feedback.
