"Feedback is an important part of continuing to do better at my job. I welcome critiques from leadership to improve and will always listen to the feedback, then adapt my work to improve where possible. As a proactive Line Cook, I often seek out the feedback from my peers and leadership in advance. This is a great technique to be a better professional and to also build relationships with those I work with."
