Article: The best way to kill any chance of regularly getting constructive feedback is to interrupt the person to defend yourself. Either they'll feel like they're wasting their time and get discouraged, or they'll try to be polite and stop giving feedback. Even if you're told something, whether positive or negative, that you don't agree with, avoid the urge to start a debate. An important part of this is to better control negative reactions to criticism. This is imperative to getting the constructive feedback you're looking for. This shows that you're absorbing what you're hearing while allowing you to save the feedback for later review. Reviewing feedback you've received by yourself will mean you're not as likely to react as negatively as when you've just received it. Stopping to write also serves to break up the conversation naturally, which might encourage the other person to give you a bit more feedback. Show that you appreciate the time you were given. Being thankful for feedback, rather than reacting defensively, will make the person more likely to give you feedback if you ask again in the future. Reacting negatively could possibly harm your relationship with that person, especially if you went out of your way to ask them for it.
