Bill Gates said it best when he said: \u201cWe all need people to give us feedback. That\u2019s how we improve.\u201d And of course, we all have appraisals and formal performance review processes to help guide us along the way. But sometimes, once-yearly career discussions aren’t quite enough, and we may need to be a bit more proactive in finding out what our skills gaps & development areas are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Let\u2019s Talk Talent, we believe in taking charge. So when it comes to making yourself the best version that you can be, and reaching your potential why wait for an end-of-year performance review? Ask your manager and your network what your blind spots are. Proactively do free strengths tests to benchmark yourself and truly get to know your motivations and drivers. Send texts to friends, ask questions and really take the time to understand your de-railers and the things that could potentially scupper you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feedback doesn\u2019t just have to be about professional skills. Emotional intelligence is a tool that can help anyone navigate tricky situations whether at work or at home. So don\u2019t limit yourself to the kind of attributes and behaviours you think will get you a linear promotion. Do a full 360 review of your strengths and areas to work on and put together a plan to improve those. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
