Some of the best feedback I ever got
came wrapped badly.
Blunt. Poorly timed.
From someone I didn't especially like.
And I almost threw it out
because of the wrapping.
Here's a skill worth building:
weigh the note and the messenger separately.
A clumsy delivery
doesn't make the point wrong.
A warm delivery
doesn't make it right.
Take the message.
Grade the delivery on its own,
and don't let a bad one
rob you of a true thing.
The people who grow fastest
can hear a real point
through an imperfect voice.
Keep the signal.
Let the tone go.
