title: What kind of feedback are you soliciting?
abstract: How can you assess how well you're performing? From benchmarking to finding a mentor, here are some suggestions to help you solicit meaningful feedback to improve your performance. The feedback that's most beneficial isn't an opinion--even the CEO's, although it's important--because it's often the opposite of fact. You need standards against which to measure yourself that aren't tightly linked to your organization's culture, so you'll need to research what's going on with your competitor's employees and network with other professionals.
