Treat others the way you would like to be treated. That’s the golden rule.
At first analysis, it means to be nice and generous and thoughtful because – of course – you’d want others to be that to you.
What no one ever tells about the golden rule is that it also promotes the importance of candor, of meaningful feedback.
Because the way to be the best version of ourselves is to balance doing more of what we’re good at with getting better at what we’re not good at.
It just so happens that one of the things we’re good at is not noticing what we’re bad at. We need others to point it out and support us in our effort to improve.
And that requires feedback. Meaningful. Heartfelt feedback.
