Episode #627: Everybody says they want feedback but when they get it, it is always scary. John Maxwell said, \u201cFeedback is the breakfast of champions!\u201d It takes courage to open yourself up to new information about yourself and learn. It certainly takes courage to become vulnerable and expose your weakness.

When you show vulnerability, especially in public. It takes courage to admit that you need help in some areas. Listen to this, people who say \u201cI need help in this area,\u201d or \u201cCan I ask you a question?\u201d get more respect than those who don\u2019t have the guts to ask the right questions. Do you want to know why? Because leadership, for the most part, is a process of learning. Leaders learned how to become leaders and they are not afraid to ask for help and people will respect them for it.
