“I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my
personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I
possess tremendous power to make a life miserable or joyous.”
–Johann Von Goethe

Areas where you think you’re doing much better, but your colleagues don’t agree

What External Factors . . .
• Raters Evolve– After multiple assessments people rate more strictly
because their expectations have been raised.– If raters don’t see change in areas they identified in earlier
surveys, they send an even stronger signal.
• Environment Changes– New job, boss, or work team– New duties or responsibilities– External economic, market, or regulatory factors– Organizational changes impacting overall morale
Page 1-5 35
might account for overall scores going down?

Clues that may suggest an unresolved Critical Flaw
• Competency scores below 3.4
• Poor performance reviews
• Written comments
Page 1-6 36

Individual Exercise

Sample Development Plan
1. My Strengths (4 highest rated, below 90th percentile)
Displays High Integrity and Honesty - ImportantTakes InitiativeBuilds Relationships - ImportantConnects the Group to the Outside World - Important to Manager
2. Potential Fatal Flaws
Establishes Stretch Goals – overall rating was 3.2. There were no comments that indicated this was an area of concern and this was not listed among the top 10 important competencies for my current position. I suspect this low rating was a result of my recent promotion and lack of opportunity to do any new goal setting, so far, with my current team.
