Page 19 - Effective Planning And Pursuits

What you're doing that you ought to quit

What you're not doing that you ought to begin

What you're doing that works

Utilizing outside feedback is useful as it helps you build a better picture of

how your conduct is sensed. Even those with great self-awareness profit

from some outside feedback!

So how do you put this data to use?

Arrive at a list of what you think are your fortes and development chances
(the politically correct term for failings!)

Below that, list the feedback you have from others about your fortes and
development chances. The more realistic and thorough you are, the more

probable you are to succeed with your growth plan.

The speed at which you advance towards your goals will depend upon

where you're starting from and the effort you make. To make certain you do
make advancement, pick out a maximum of 3 areas to center on for your

personal development actions. If goal accomplishment is a long way off,
you might even decide to center on one area at one time before going onto

the next.

When choosing what your personal development centering areas will be,

think about;

Will this help me accomplish my short-run goals (3-6 months)?
