Quips
I have had a tendency for many years to make comments in various situations. For a long time, I though these quippy comments, which might be considered using less kind attribution, might be enjoyable or funny. During one of my military assignments, we did a 360 feedback survey. One of the feedbacks I got was very helpful. It mentioned that those comments were not always considered helpful and, perhaps, I didn’t need to make them as often as I did. I made a concerted effort after reading that to reign in my comments. Unfortunately, the feedback came late in my career, but I think it was valuable. I don’t know for sure who made that feedback, but I have my suspicions, and I did appreciate it.
