Understanding your strengths can be challenging, and even those who feel confident in identifying them or their weaknesses are often mistaken. Fortunately, feedback analysis, a method dating back to the fourteenth century, provides a reliable way to uncover both. The process involves recording major decisions and their expected outcomes, then comparing these predictions to actual results after nine to twelve months. Over time, this practice reveals not only your strengths and how effectively you use them but also areas where weaknesses may be holding you back. From this, five key actions emerge: focus on opportunities where your strengths can make an impact, enhance your strengths by addressing knowledge gaps, acquire new skills to complement your strengths, correct bad habits identified through feedback, and accept areas where improvement is unlikely, avoiding wasted effort.
