#7: UpSkill — How You See Yourself, The Importance of Self Assessment

What is worse:  To be a great leader and assess yourself poorly? Or, to be a mediocre leader and assess yourself as “great”?As leaders, we must have the skill to see and assess ourselves clearly and accurately, so that we may lead most effectively.In today’s episode, Michel shares the story of an experiment where leaders were asked to assess themselves as leaders. While the results varied, the end result was very few assessed themselves accurately.Just like looking through a cloudy lens, when we try to “see” ourselves through this blurred vision, we don’t see what’s really there. And as discussed in this episode, it’s better to uncover who you are intentionally, than to have your cover blown unintentionally.At UpSkill, we are building a community of UpSkillers, learning and growing together.Please listen, subscribe and share!With decades of combined leadership experience, team of coaches, facilitators and subject matter experts can help to UpSkill your organization. We offer corporate training, coaching, e-learning courses and consulting services for:Inclusive LeadershipDiversity, Equity & InclusionCommunicationSoft Skills Senior Leadership TrainingEmail us: [email protected] Learn more: www.upskillcommunity.com
