Feedback Process

Step 2: Self-Assessment (part 1)

  • Start with a self-assessment.
  • Self-assessment can be as formal or informal as you wish to make it
  • Make sure to take time away from a normal work day to reflect and do your personal assessment.
  • Ways to do a personal assessment:
    - Work with a coach to talk through areas you want to work on
    - Doing your reflection with colleagues for a 360 review
    - Formal assessments that can be found online or in books include: Myer-Briggs, or Birkman Attitude assessment
  • Make sure you are open to really hear and understand the feedback you receive. People take time and effort to give you information to improve yourself: that is why 'feedback is a gift'.
