Welcome to the ninth lesson
We are headed towards the final stretch of this course. In this important ninth lesson, we will cover an incredibly powerful career development secret: to proactively and continually give yourself an objective and honest self-review.
! NOTE TAKING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !
I highly recommend that you take notes while watching these videos and then revisit those notes in the future. Research has shown that note-taking + follow-up review can increase your retention by 50% or more.
Lesson 9:
Proactive Self-Reviews
Time to complete: 1 week
Assignment
You only have one simple but meaty assignment for this lesson—to start your self-review process:
Identify the key people across the organization whose 360 feedback you would value. Have them identify what you are doing well and what you could do to improve.
Make sure your Priorities are in a tight frame and do an objective self-assessment (red/yellow/green) of how you are doing.
Identify any improvement steps you could take to increase your ability to drive your priorities forward.
Take your 360 feedback and update your Career Development list, incorporating any critical additions as well as items identified above.
Take this self-review and get direct feedback from your manager on the content.
Continue this process every week/month/quarter regardless of the underlying HR feedback loop in place in your company (unless it’s already running at this heightened pace).
