Reactions to feedback define how the feedback giver perceives the other person’s feedback-receiving skills. When people react with anger or cry when they receive harsh feedback, it creates a picture of how they cannot handle the feedback. These various behaviors are the feedback footprints that are unique to the individual. Many people are not aware of their feedback footprint and are not ready to face harsh feedback. Asking, “How do I typically behave when I receive feedback?” is a good strategy to help anyone learn their unintentional behaviors. After learning the reactions, it will be easier to prepare for any kind of feedback and easily handle difficult situations.
