Feedback isn’t a threat—it’s a catalyst.
Too often, we treat feedback like a pass/fail test instead of what it really is: fuel for innovation. The best ideas don’t come fully formed—they get shaped, sharpened, and strengthened by the insights of others.
- Seek feedback—from customers, colleagues, and even competitors.
- Listen without defensiveness—hard truths lead to big breakthroughs.
- Take action—feedback only matters if you do something with it. The best innovators aren’t the ones who avoid criticism—they’re the ones who embrace it.

Completely in tune with your post, Thomas.
I may say that about 40% of the ideas of my posts resulted from ideas contained in comments or criticisms/suggestion from readers. Feedback is a treasure.
Hello Ali Anani, and thanks much for the comment. That’s pretty amazing to hear – and it totally makes sense that a significant percentage of ideas come from others. I’m guessing you’re a good listener! You remind me to consider that a large percentage of my posts also come from outside suggestions, including criticisms.
So we share similar experiences Thomas Triumph
