1 Embrace Vulnerability

Embracing vulnerability is the first step in using feedback to improve your leadership. It's natural to feel defensive when receiving criticism, but it's important to remain open and receptive. Acknowledge that you don't have all the answers and that there's always room for improvement. By showing vulnerability, you create a culture of trust where your team feels comfortable providing honest feedback. This, in turn, allows you to gain a clearer understanding of your weaknesses and the areas you need to work on.

Feedback is a gift for any leader. By embracing it, you can pinpoint and address weaknesses, ultimately becoming a more effective leader. Formal reviews, informal conversations, and even self-reflection can all be valuable sources of feedback. Having a growth mindset in these situations is very key. Instead of getting defensive, actively listen, ask clarifying questions, and truly understand the feedback. Once you've identified your weaknesses, take action. Consider enrolling in leadership training, seeking mentorship, or practicing new skills.

Every leader requires improvement no matter what stage they are at. The most important aspect is having an open mindset and be willing to improve in new domains that your are not confident with. Seek mentorship from your line manager, observe best practice and enroll in professional development courses aligning to your pathways / areas of growth.

Feedback is a gift, not a threat. When you actively solicit input from your team, you demonstrate that you're committed to growing as a leader. Lean into the constructive criticism - it may sting in the moment, but addressing those pain points will make you a stronger, more effective leader in the long run. The vulnerability to admit your flaws shows true strength.

2 Seek Feedback

Proactively seeking feedback is essential in pinpointing your leadership weaknesses. Don't wait for annual reviews; instead, create regular opportunities for feedback through one-on-one meetings, anonymous surveys, or open forums. Ask specific questions that encourage constructive criticism and focus on different aspects of your leadership. Remember, the goal is to gather insights that will help you grow, so encourage honesty and be prepared to listen without judgment.

Don't wait for performance reviews - make feedback a regular part of your leadership routine. Create open channels for your team to share honest input, whether through one-on-ones, surveys, or forums. Ask targeted questions that zero in on specific areas you want to improve. Be prepared to really listen without getting defensive - the insights you gain will be invaluable for sharpening your leadership skills.

3 Analyze Critically

Once you've gathered feedback, it's time to analyze it critically. Look for patterns or recurring themes that may indicate areas needing attention. Distinguish between personal preferences and constructive criticism that can lead to meaningful changes. It's crucial to remain objective during this process and focus on the ultimate goal of improving your leadership skills. Consider enlisting a mentor or coach to help you interpret the feedback if you find it challenging to remain unbiased.

4 Plan Strategically

After identifying your weaknesses, plan strategically to address them. Set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals that target each area of improvement. For instance, if communication has been highlighted as a weakness, a goal might be to implement a new communication strategy within three months. Break down each goal into actionable steps and regularly review your progress to stay on track.

5 Implement Changes

Implementation is where the real transformation begins. Put your strategic plan into action by making tangible changes in your leadership approach. This could involve attending workshops, seeking mentorship, or adjusting your communication style. Be patient with yourself; change takes time and practice. Keep your team informed about the changes you're making; this transparency can further foster trust and may even encourage them to support you in your growth.

One thing that I have found , when I working on some aspect of my leadership is to ask about specific feedback. How is it manifesting in my work ? How am I being perceived. It takes courage , but I find it extremely helpful.

6 Reflect Regularly

Continuous reflection is key to long-term improvement in leadership. Set aside time regularly to reflect on your progress and reassess your goals. Ask yourself what's working, what isn't, and why. This ongoing process of reflection will not only help you track your development but also ensure that you remain responsive to new feedback and continue to evolve as a leader. Remember, leadership is a journey, not a destination, and there's always room for growth.

1. Actively seek feedback from various sources (colleagues, staff, students) 2. Schedule regular self-reflection sessions 3. Compare feedback with your self-assessment 4. Identify patterns in the feedback 5. Prioritize areas for improvement 6. Develop action plans for each weakness 7. Track progress over time I once discovered a communication issue through feedback, which I addressed by practicing active listening. Use tools like surveys or 360-degree reviews for structured feedback. Be open to criticism and view it as an opportunity for growth. Regular reflection helps you stay aware of your progress and adjust your improvement strategies as needed.
