The 360º review revealed that while she concentrated on areas needing development, her technical skills and strategic vision were highly valued by others. Many leaders fail to see the traits others appreciate in them. Natural talents often go unrecognized, leading to a narrow view of one’s contributions. Understanding how colleagues perceive one’s value is crucial for personal brand enhancement and leadership effectiveness, illustrating the need to balance self-perception with external feedback.
