Hello, everyone. I'm lecturer Hue, and welcome to my leadership course. In our last session, we discussed the relationship between success and opportunities. But you know what's even more crucial? Setting clear goals and practicing self-management.
So, how do you nail down your career goals to ace self-management? That's what we're tackling today.
I prefer using the "Five-Step Method" proposed by management guru Peter Drucker to help you identify your career orientation:
What are my strengths? How do I perform? What are my values? What kind of company and position suit me? What can I contribute?
Let's start with the first question: What are my strengths?
Actually, many people haven't delved into thinking about what their strengths are, so they can't fully leverage them. Drucker's feedback analysis is a practical tool to delve into your professional strengths.
In simple terms, "strengths" refer to your enduring capabilities in the workplace, where you not only enjoy tackling challenges but also excel at resolving them quickly and effectively. Alternatively, strengths can manifest in your ability to accomplish tasks and create value.
For example, if one of your strengths is writing, and you have authored 500 articles on a public platform, with one-third of them garnering over 100,000 reads, that constitutes your professional advantage. Now, how can you discover your strengths? Drucker suggests utilizing a feedback analysis method.
Whenever you make important decisions or take actions, record the expected outcomes.
After 9-12 months, compare the actual results with your expectations.
Consistently using this method will help you discover your areas of expertise and identify tasks you excel at quickly and effectively, aiding you in swiftly recognizing your innate strengths for improved self-management and planning to achieve your goals.
That's all for today's class, next session, we will talk about 4D Nature Assessmemt.
Thank you for watching. See you next time.
