Receiving feedback – next step #2

In step 1 we took time to reflect and identify our strengths.  Now it’s time to move onto the next step, identify the gaps.

Gaps are identified as areas where we are not meeting the performance levels expected of us by our manager, our peers and the people that report to us.

Identifying the gaps gives us a great opportunity to understand what the people around us want and expect of us as a leader.  This will allow us to determine whether or not we need to change our behaviours or if we need to better manage the expectations of the people around us.

Discovering these challenges provides us the framework for our action plan.
