• Profiling the Past
• Profiling the Present
Getting Constructive Feedback
• Solicit feedback from those who know you well and who can be trusted
• Seek specific comments in particularly important areas and probe for detail if the feedback is unclear
• Recognize that feedback is most helpful if it is neither all positive nor all negative
• Ask for feedback in writing for contemplation and so feedback from various sources can be pulled together
• Be honest and straightforward with yourself and with others
• Avoid game playing or hidden agendas; avoid defensiveness over negative comments
• Listen carefully to what is being said and think about it; avoid answering, debating, or rationalizing
• Assess whether all important information has been considered and you have been realistic in your inferences and conclusions
• Request help in identifying common threads or patterns, possible implications of self-assessment data and certain weaknesses, and other relevant information that is missing
• Seek additional feedback from others to verify feedback and to supplement data
• Reach final conclusions at a later time
