Input comes at the initiation or creation stage, and those that have input also might feel some level of ownership.<br /><br />However, I think that input could fall into each of these categories also. <br /><br />There are some circumstances when input and feedback might be dictated because of time constraints, control issues, or other constraints and you are right that this will quash creativity. In my study, in fact, this was the purpose of limiting the type of feedback. What was interesting, though, was that those within the group rebelled and created new channels for feedback to exclude those in authority who wanted to limit the creative and political feedback (they wanted only confirmative feedback).V Yonkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910904367068063554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513616792028141844.post-22902562889722913792010-12-14T10:39:07.095-05:002010-12-14T10:39:07.095-05:00Hi Virginia

And I might just add to the tension with a semantic twist and suggest that there is a difference between feedback and input.<br /><br />In a genuinely collaborative situation, everyone provides input. It's up to everyone in the team to contribute, and to produce a result that everyone owns. This is not without its challenges (I'm not being disingenuous, here).<br /><br />Feedback implies an owner and a responder. The owner posits an idea, others feed back on it. The owner accepts or rejects the feedback. The control rests in the hands of the original owner. This isn't a very collaborative model, and it results in the kind of preciousness you illustrate in your example (I'm sure Ronda will be livid at my use of the word, but c'est la vie...).<br /><br />Of course, there are different kinds of feedback, and an owner will often have to deal with feedback that falls outside of what was expected and/or requested. Human beings are not sheople and good ideas can come from anywhere. I have heard brilliant ideas from the most unlikely sources. If you dictate to people how they may and may not respond, you quash creativity.The upsychohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06345558899662051670noreply@blogger.com
