Sometimes graciously accepting feedback can be difficult, especially when it is not what we want to hear. But, being able to take that feedback, and apply it and learn from it, and to grow professionally exemplifies emotional intelligence, strong communication skills, motivation and drive. And all of those are the hallmarks of strong leadership.

"Well, I actively seek out feedback, and I ask my immediate supervisor for a week in review at the end of each week. It's nice when I get pleasant feedback and am told I've done a great job. But other times, when I am given feedback to help me grow and improve my skills, are almost always inevitably the most rewarding."
