29. Daring to ask for feedback
Translated from the French original.

I recommend reading an excellent HBR article on the subject of feedback.
Here the subject is approached from the other end, by seeking to answer the question.
What does an employee who never receives feedback think?
What does a contributor think of a meeting that is never evaluated?
The question deserves to be asked.
And I’d like to offer some ideas of what might run through the mind of someone asking themselves that very question.
“The other day, I attended a meeting. Contrary to our usual practice, we didn’t take the time to evaluate it.
Several thoughts then crossed my mind:
– the facilitator didn’t have the courage to expose themselves to the participants’ remarks,
– the facilitator felt that the meeting, mediocre though it was, didn’t deserve to be improved,
– the facilitator thinks my opinion is of no use whatsoever,
– the facilitator doesn’t believe it matters to help us improve, individually and collectively.”
Does all this make you want to dare to evaluate your meetings?
