From Growth to Great

How to ask for feedback

The From Growth to Great™ feedback model is based on the work of Carol Dweck, Professor of Psychology at Stanford University. It is constructed around adopting a growth mindset and aims at getting to specifics using two main questions on each feedback topic.

Invite feedback on your leadership style, ability to manage conflict, ability to implement strategy or on any topic you choose.

The From Growth to Great™ tool includes specialized feedback templates designed to systematically keep track of actions you want to initiate as a result of feedback you have received.

Performance reviews can be one-sided — you as the manager might have a narrow and limited lens on what your employees or direct reports have accomplished throughout the year. The From Growth to Great feedback process is about growth and provides a structured and professional approach to providing feedback that is fair, balanced, meaningful and action-oriented.

The LENS Strength Finder

Identify and leverage your strengths

The LENS Strengths Finder™ will help you:
1. Identify your strengths more clearly;
2. Decide on how to develop and leverage your strengths; and
3. Decide on a course of action

Peter Drucker advocated that we all should focus on developing our strengths rather than spending time working on areas that we do not show much competency for. If you know what your top 3 or 4 strengths are, you can cross-train and develop a core of complementary competencies that enhance your strengths and add tremendous value to your clients and to the organization.

REMAP Your Motivation

Find out what motivates you

REMAP Your Motivation^™ is based on the work of Daniel Pink and others and takes you through five elements necessary for you to be fully engaged and motivated in your current job, position or career.

REMAP your Motivation^™ can also help you make an informed decision about a new idea, job, position or career within your current organization or with another organization or starting your own business.

It is a self-scoring exercise and will take you 30 minutes to complete.
