Constructive Criticism

Learning to grow from constructive criticism is a skill and requires practice. It is difficult to solicit feedback, and it is even more difficult to absorb criticism with grace. The Global Executive Leadership Initiative has a survey you can purchase that will allow those you request the chance to review your aptitude as a global executive. It's a great idea! I had the honor of reviewing a friend recently, and at some point I hope to invite others to review my abilities. While taking the survey I felt it stressed the ability to empathize over the ability to lead. However, I haven't had a chance to review the results, or the methodology of the test.
