8 SELF-KNOWLEDGE
Daily Development for Leaders
Finally, we are here at Self-Knowledge (SK)…and I would like to do a couple things with leaders upfront after we meet and agree to engage, yet SK doesn’t need a coach or Developmentalist to get started.
MOST leaders in the west have some ASSESSMENTS lying around that they either took in college, or were railroaded into taking at work.
Many people I’ve spoken with over time tend to have a negative tendency to view assessment as something that they could have done without.
Disclosure and Warning;)
Those of us who are innately curious or interested in developing ourselves and others—an affliction I hope you can forgive us for at some point—love to take ASSESSMENTS.
“Knowing Yourself Is The Beginning Of All Wisdom.” – Aristotle
Having traveled the world a good bit, I’ve seen a lot of cool ways people do assessment…everything from palm readings to hot seats with Gurus, and of course all matter of paper and pencil survey and their proliferation online.
In my view, there is no reason why you can’t find some method, or some practitioner to help you find ways to assess yourself and others.
We will talk about 360 Interviews and Assessment later, but the point I’m making is…
There is no time like the present to pull together an SK Portfolio and start investing your 28.8 minutes a day (save 1 Minute for Daily Dev).
Remember, Invest your developmental minutes wisely in DEEP WORK.
Assessments save time and money but are not always the truth,
