Seeking criticism

I am on flight SQ602 tonight to Seoul.

An airplane reaches its destination because it gets feedback along the way from radar and the control tower.

I'm not a saint, mind you, but I'velearned that taking criticism is vital to my continued growth not only as a sales leader but as a father and a husband. I'm willing to take it in all areas of my life. I'm willing to let my wife tell me about things I don't know. My son too.

We can't take it personally, or try to justify our behaviour or blame someone else for our mistakes. But too often people ignore feedback from those around them.
