The Brief

[/vc_column_text][wgl_spacing spacer_size=”20px”][vc_column_text]

Over the past decade or so, most leaders have grown familiar with the concept of self-awareness. They understand that they need to solicit feedback and recognize how others see them. But when it comes to the need for learning, our assessments of ourselves—what we know and don’t know, skills we have and don’t have—can still be woefully inaccurate. In one study conducted by David Dunning, a Cornell University psychologist, 94% of college professors reported that they were doing “above average work.”

It’s easy to see aspiration as either there or not: You want to learn a new skill or you don’t; you have ambition and motivation or you lack them. But great learners can raise their aspiration level—and that’s key, because everyone is guilty of sometimes resisting development that is critical to success.[/vc_column_text][wgl_spacing spacer_size=”40px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”485″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1571734294576{border-radius: 10px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][wgl_spacing spacer_size=”43px”][vc_column_text]

Benefits of Project

[/vc_column_text][wgl_spacing spacer_size=”20px”][vc_column_text]Let’s say your boss has told you that your team isn’t strong enough and that you need to get better at assessing and developing talent. Your initial reaction might be something like What? She’s wrong. My team is strong. Most of us respond defensively to that sort of criticism. But as soon as you recognize what you’re thinking, ask yourself, Is that accurate? What facts do I have to support it? In the process of reflection you may discover that you’re wrong and your boss is right, or that the truth lies somewhere in between—you cover for some of your reports by doing things yourself, and one of them is inconsistent in meeting deadlines; however, two others are stars. Over the past decade or so, most leaders have grown familiar with the concept of self-awareness.[/vc_column_text][wgl_spacing spacer_size=”40px”][vc_column_text]

Focusing on benefits, not challenges, is a good way to increase your aspiration. There are no secrets to success.

    This is a useful post for finding broken links within the website, what about links pointing outwards that are broken? I can use a free web service but wondered if this was possible.

      Great tool! I am using a redirect plugin to send all my 404’s to my home page but I think it’s slacking sometimes.
