Question

Which of the following statements about learning from feedback is least likely to be true for top executives? A. the realization that they have made it to the top causes executives to become less defensive and more open to feedback B. top executives tend to become isolated from most people except other executives who cannot provide much useful feedback C. feelings of confidence and superiority cause many executives to ignore or discount negative feedback D. most executives receive much praise but little constructive criticism from their subordinates

Explanation / Answer

The answer is option "c" - feelings of confidence and superiority cause many executives to ignore or discount negative feedback.

Executives tend to pay more attention towards negative feedbacks. The reason is that top executives seldom receive negative feedback. The subordinates avoid giving negative feedbacks to their bosses and try and take the diplomatic path when giving feedbacks. So, when the top executives do receive a negative feedback, they sit up and make a note of it, rather than discounting it. The top executives, on the other hand, tend to discount the several positive feedbacks that they receive.
