How do you become aware of your own behavioral shortcoming in the organization where you are now? For example, you think that you have poor people skills. How would you validate this thought of having poor people skills?
The first thing that you should not do is to seek the opinion of those who are close to you in the organization where you are now. Why? This for the reason that you will not get an objective answer from them. Yes, they may tell you how they feel about your people skills but they may still try to hold back and not be totally honest to you.
So, the next move that you should do for you to get an honest to goodness idea about the real score on your people skills. You have to get the feedback of those who are working for you, with you and those who are higher than you. They are your subordinates, peers and supervisors.
Give them a survey form where they can answer open ended and close ended questions. And based on the outcome of the survey you will be able to have an idea about the real score of your people skills.
Effective managers, leaders and workers should always strive to have real awareness about who they really are in their organization. This impression of real awareness should not come from their own perception neither should this come from their friends in the organization. For if this is so they would not be able to properly solve the root cause of their behavioral shortcoming/s. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
