Here's how you can cultivate a growth mindset when receiving feedback on your performance.

Cultivate a growth mindset when receiving feedback by viewing it as an opportunity for learning and improvement rather than criticism. Listen actively, ask clarifying questions, and reflect on how the feedback can enhance your skills. Embrace challenges and use feedback constructively to develop your abilities and achieve better performance.

Feedback is a gift that can help one to unlock your full potential. When we approach it with an open mind, we are not just receiving criticism; we are gaining insights that can help us improve. Instead of letting our emotions cloud our judgment, focus on the constructive elements of the feedback and consider how we can apply it to our work. By embracing feedback as a tool for growth, we’ll be well on your way to achieving our goals

Repetition. The key to forming a new habit to replace the old habit is proper repetition with minimal slipping back towards old habits. You have to reflect. You have to be mindful. The human brain can generally only effectively encode 3-5 pieces of information from short term to long term memory at a time. Plus, the body has homeostasis, and actively wants to return to the previous habit. Think about it often. Do it correctly almost every time. The advice should become skill integrated in 60 days or so. Shorter timeframes are for circumstances where the skill is new and there is little previous reinforcement, or people like children whose minds are still highly elastic.

If you want to integrate knowledge or feedback, you have to follow the learning processes, and you have to grasp the context. So: See it. Hear it. Use it in an activity. Ask every conceivable question about every related topic. The deepest learning isn’t a line. It has the breadth of the ocean.

Know the goal. Even if the goal is, “There are no other goals right now,” check! That’s the goal. Changing the dishes at a wedding banquet of 500 people 3 times because nobody planned what glassware would be used in advance is a massive waste of manpower at the worst possible moment. Know where you’re going. Know the expectations. Know that any issue that occurs should either be somewhere in the SOPs, or a collaboration needs to be held to rectify the oversight. Expect the feedback, anticipate it, acknowledge, apply it, be prepared for new issues next time on, “That’s Life, Deal”.
