Feedback
I received feedback from Josephine, a project manager, during a performance review. She noted that while I effectively engage the team, I should work on confidently challenging decisions at higher levels. This feedback has informed my focus on assertiveness and balance in leadership.
Strengths
In terms of Professional Courage and Influence, I excel in advocating for necessary changes, even in challenging situations. My ability to influence decision-makers through evidence-based arguments and clear communication has been a key strength. Additionally, I possess strong emotional intelligence, which allows me to navigate sensitive topics with empathy and integrity.
In Working Inclusively, I am proactive in creating an environment where diverse perspectives are encouraged. My efforts to involve team members from different backgrounds and ensure all voices are heard have fostered a collaborative and inclusive work culture.
Weaknesses
One area of weakness in Professional Courage and Influence is that I sometimes hesitate to push back when senior management resists change. This can undermine my ability to fully influence decisions, especially when the stakes are high.
In Working Inclusively, while I encourage inclusion, I occasionally struggle to balance inclusivity with the need for swift decision-making. This sometimes delays the process, as I tend to overconsult in trying to involve everyone.
Development Areas
I aim to enhance my ability to assertively challenge senior leadership by refining my negotiation skills. For Working Inclusively, I need to develop strategies for achieving faster consensus without compromising inclusivity.
