Assess your Effectiveness
Throughout your career you will need to develop your knowledge, awareness and experience.
Some of this will occur naturally, but it can be useful to undertake periodic assessments of you progress - and challenges to come.
That's why we have created for you a series of effectiveness scorecards. Please take advantage of them - they are free to use.
Discover your effectiveness in any of these fields -
and then learn how to improve
Irrespective of where you find yourself in your career, the act of periodically evaluating your personal effectiveness and management capabilities is of utmost importance.
Self-assessment serves as the prism through which you can gain deep insights into your leadership acumen. It's an opportunity to scrutinise your proficiency in areas as vital as communication, decision-making, and conflict resolution. These facets of leadership define your trajectory, regardless of your current career stage.
Self-assessment should not be a mere exercise in self-congratulation. It's about unearthing your vulnerabilities, acknowledging areas that demand refinement. It's an exercise in stark, honest introspection.
It is not merely a routine; it's the cornerstone of deliberate professional development. It is the vehicle that propels you toward evolving into the kind of leader who excels at every stage of their career voyage.
Start today by taking advantage of our free online assessments; you will receive personalised written feedback and the offer of a short free review with Richard Winfield.
