Openness

From the book Minute Motivators for Leaders by Stan Toler:

'Success in any area requires constantly readjusting your behavior as a result of feedback.

Leaders understand the difference between helpful feedback and spiteful criticism. They welcome the former and ignore the latter....

They are always seeking ways to have an impact upon their "market."

The helpful suggestions of their associates are the building blocks of success, not stumbling blocks of negativism....

Constructive criticism doesn't roll off their backs like water off a duck. They gather and sort it to see if it has the potential to grow into excellence.

Leaders are more interested in fixing problems than in passing blame.'

Winners accept good feedback.
