What Does It Mean to Listen Without Prejudice?
Listening without prejudice means hearing feedback without interrupting, defending, or arguing. The only valid response is a simple “Thank you.”
Metaphor
Listening without prejudice is like watching a movie without talking over it. The shared trait is holding back commentary so you can fully take in what’s being presented.
In feedback, this means resisting the urge to argue and instead saying “Thank you” so the whole message lands.
