Seeing ourselves as others see us- Josh Malament


Nothing was really surprising to me. Most scores were pretty close to my own scores. although one item line was a bit lower. It was the ability to regulate own emotions. This has been a weakness of mine ever since i can remember. In many situations i feel that i have let my emotions overpower any rational thinking. In my professional life and my personal life i feel that my emotions get the better of me, more than i would like. It is something that i am constantly working on. It is an aspect that i work on as i move towards my leadership goals.

I receive authentic feedback on a regular basis in both personal and professional lives. I work for a small company so the relationships are close and everyone is very approachable, which allows for frequent constructive feedback. The partners in the company are all very seasoned vets in the industry, but are very open minded as too the process in which the work gets successfully completed.

In striving to achieve goals, it is always good to allow for constructive feedback. I know im not perfect, and i may do things in ways that others may not... and if im doing something wrong, i would like to know about it, preferably as soon as possible. This will prevent bad habits from forming as well. Constructive criticism allows for positive feedback from a different perspective. This can only help with striving for my goals.
