Rebecca- that's a great question to ask- I can see how it would really open things up.
Jen- I know... eval forms are iffy, even when not asking real estate agents. :) We've had so-so results with them ourselves. Sometimes useful, though.
Avonelle- That sucks! Hopefully, you'll get yourself invited next time. I love being in on those kinds of discussions.
What company was it... I can't remember- oh, I think it was Smith and Hawken, who has a "Go For Broke" every year- where every employee is invited/expected to participate in documenting everything they think is wrong/broken/not working in the company. These generate thousands of ideas, and help the company improve tremendously.
I take heart from Jim Collins' example as well, in Good to Great, about being willing to look at the bad stuff.
Hsuan-Hua- well, I trust you are on your path with all of this. It is a different way, and because it's different, I've noticed over the years that it generates radically different feedback- feedback that I hadn't seen before- and has helped us improve our company tremendously.
Even to the point where I can call it "our company" instead of "my practice." ;-)
