What are the best ways to identify leadership opportunities through performance evaluations?

Aligning IT goals with your manager's is crucial. It ensures clarity, prevents resource waste, and fosters collaboration. Aligned goals boost efficiency, leading to recognition and career growth. Effective resource allocation and a shared purpose contribute to organizational success. In IT, this alignment ensures strategic IT initiatives that drive overall success.

Performance evaluations can identify leadership opportunities by self-assessing competencies, reviewing feedback, quantifying achievements, setting goals, showcasing teamwork, problem-solving, decision-making, initiative, innovation, mentorship, commitment to continuous learning, seeking feedback, volunteering, networking, aligning with organizational goals, soliciting mentorship, being adaptable, and expressing ambitions. By proactively developing leadership qualities, individuals can position themselves for leadership roles.

Highlighting your accomplishments is incredibly important to having a successful performance evaluation. Even more so, it is critical to be in regular communication with your manager and colleagues about what the most pressing issues are that they are facing - and the answers to that will give you plenty of chances to step up to the plate and show that you can solve problems. Or even if the problems cannot be solved, that you are tackling meaningful work. Don't be stuck being the person just known for getting the team food, work on meaningful problems.

Feedback from your manager, and from peers who have worked projects with you, is the most important barometer of your leadership ability. If your colleagues see habits of a successful leader now, chances are very good that you will continue using those habits when you become a people leader.

Articulate not just “what” results you achieved but “how” you accomplished these results. Demonstrate a differentiating level of influence and initiative, and the ability to organize and motivate others towards a clear outcome. Great leaders focus on “what” needs to get done but also on the journey to get there (“how”), the level of collaboration, ability to navigate obstacles and challenges, and the quality of inputs going into the quality of solutions and outputs. Create a Professional Development Plan that communicates to your manager leadership aspirations. Identify education, business acumen, stretch assignments and visibility needed to work towards these objectives. Set up regular check-ins to assess and adjust where it makes sense.
