I approach things from a data driven mindset and everyone knows that I have an open door policy for feedback
When feedback is given, I listen. I definitely prefer it to be constructive feedback that is backed by reality but still listen even if that is not the case. I will publicly correct if I see accusations that are contrary to data
Making your mind up either way is a good approach and I hope that clarity has been given here as opposed to subjective opinion. Have a good one
