Take a 360 Look
Are you aware of how coworkers, managers, and supervisees view your behaviors, strengths and weaknesses as a professional? Like most people, you probably believe you have a good understanding of how other employees are perceiving you. Research tells us that we are likely to overestimate how competent we are, and there is most likely a gap between how we perceive ourselves and how others perceive us. Our own experiences, emotions and beliefs cloud our perception of ourselves. Collecting feedback from a variety of people allows a more accurate look at your own effectiveness. When 360° feedback is received, we become more aware of our own strengths and weaknesses and can make adjustments to better lead those around us.
