Embrace the Critics: Why Great CTOs Welcome Tough Feedback

Develop the Right Mindsets to Use Criticism to Become a Top 1% CTO

Welcome Leaders!

Count yourself lucky if you have any critics. That means you’re doing something right and your opinions are important enough for others to worry about.

But the difference between an average exec & a top 1% leader is what they do with that harsh criticism & tough feedback.

Today, I talk about the mindsets that top-flight CTOs from OpenAI and Salesforce have that enable them to take criticism and use it as rocket fuel 🚀 for their success.

Cheers,

Nobody really likes tough feedback — least of all high-powered executives with massive egos.

When someone criticizes these types of leaders they’re often met with scathing looks and assumptions of stupidity. 😜

Now imagine that these high-powered execs are technical leaders like CTOs and VP’s of Engineering.

Guess what? These tech leaders dislike tough feedback even more!

Maybe it’s because they think they’re smarter than everyone else. Or, maybe they’re just really stressed out from hitting tight deadlines and keeping the site up and running 😂.

Whatever the reason is, most CTOs & tech leaders don’t just dislike criticisms, they HATE it!

The only problem with that mindset is that criticism is actually a huge part of what gets execs into the Top 1% of performers. 💯
