As follow up to my recent "Taking Credit" blog, where I declared I no longer need to take credit for what has blossomed from a suggestion or idea, I need to add that, nonetheless, an important ingredient of social intercourse is feedback.  

Feedback is follow-up/response to one's suggestion or idea.  

By responding one acknowledges receipt and informs as to the status of the subject.  

This allows for discussion towards furthering the suggestion or idea.  

As Shelley says, the magic is in the follow-up!

I think it all comes down to emotional intelligence. When you give feedback on an idea or suggestion, your paying respect to the person who gave you the idea. Most times, the person offering the advice or idea wants nothing more than to be thanked or acknowledged for caring about the other person’s situation. If that acknowledgment is not made, it breeds resentment, rather than good feelings towards that person. It’s so easy to just say thanks! It makes both parties feel better!

It’s all comes down to civility, awareness and kindness.

Failure to acknowledge help from someone sometimes arises from insecurity. Small minds, small people. True leaders acknowledge where ideas arise, and give credit .

A good networker always provides feedback to the nominator/referrer whether the interaction is positive or negative. This discourse is the life blood of a connector like yourself.
