The G-360 review was an extremely new experience for me. The only times I have completed an evaluation like this in my past, it was for a class and influenced grades so we were all incredibly nice because the feedback was given to one another not to each other, which provided no opportunity for growth.
Something that surprised me was that my scores were higher than my teams rankings. This upset me at first but after reflecting I realized that this was useful for determining the aspects that I really thought I was excelling at. I am hopefully that I will be able to keep improving my skills and get better results for the upcoming challenge.
Something about the G-360 that upset me is that the review came at the end of our time together. I felt bad that they felt some of my contributions were under par. I would have liked to receive feedback at a half way point so that I could have had the opportunity to change them and improve my team work skills.
Libby, thank you for your reflection on the G360 experience. As we had hoped and you found out, the G360 provides an opportunity for real, honest feedback on performance within your team.
ReplyDeleteAs you can imagine, you are not alone in finding that you rated yourself higher than your peers rated you. I really liked how you mentioned this feedback was something that made you think about the areas you originally thought you were excelling in. As discussed in our meeting 2 weeks ago, receiving critical feedback from our peers is what helps us grow within a team environment and helps us be more frequently aware of our contributions.
Moving forward, I challenge you to think more specifically about what areas of your leadership need more attention and development. What are the specific action items you will employ to enhance your next challenge experience?
Thank you for your feedback regarding the timing of this weekend. As we continue planning for meetings throughout this semester, the BLF team will make sure there are many more opportunities for feedback. However, I would encourage you to make "giving feedback" part of your team's culture and routine.
Have a great week!
