Successful development and career planning requires validation and feedback at all stages from the people who work with you and know you best including your manager, peers, team members, direct reports and yourself. By regularly asking others for their input, you can gain valuable perspective that can help you emphasise your strengths, further develop your skills and behaviours and create a realistic career development programme. There are formal and informal ways you can evaluate how you are doing and ask for feedback..
360 Feedback is more detailed and is used by managers and above. It provides questions that are targeted at specific areas to which people are
asked to rate the individual against agreed criteria. Ask your manager for more information about 360 Feedback.
Stakeholder Mapping can be used by anyone. This effective tool looks at how you work with
others and what influence and interest they have in what you do. See the Stakeholder Map section.
Remember
Your career is an important part of your working life and your commitment to how successful you are is only limited by your energy, drive and input.“ You do what you have always done, you get what you’ve always got ”
