Perception

How do others perceive you? This is a question that most people cannot answer intern could cause harm in their professional career. Most people have the feeling that everyone likes them and therefore are not constantly looking for feedback in order to change behaviors. I once worked with an employee who said "feedback is a gift." She could not have been more right, and being open for feedback is what will make the leader learn to change and grow.

Leadership is not defined by hitting huge monetary results leadership is defined by leading people to a common goal. I remember being told once you are not a leader until people choose to follow. This comment will make anyone think, what would happen if I left? Would people want to come with me? Could I call them if I needed a favor? Would they run through a wall for me? If the answer is yes than you are a leader! If you are not sure what the answer is it might be time to think about gathering feedback on what you can do to make yourself more productive.
