I have one guy who I work a lot of games with. We have always agreed to be brutally honest with each other in an attempt to make ourselves better both individually, and as a crew. I will always listen to what he has to say. We do a post game after every assignment together.
When I work other games it depends on who I am working with. If it's an inexperienced guy I don't ask for feedback, though I will gladly listen to any they offer. When I work varsity games with well respected, very experienced guys I always ask for feedback on how they felt we worked together. Likewise, there are newer guys who will ask me for feedback and many other experienced guys who never would ask for my opinion because they view me as newer and far less experienced.
I like getting feedback from other umpires and don't really have much of an ego about it. Not everything I get is of value, but I want to get better and sometimes a guy you don't work with that much will see something that your more regular partner does not.
