Importance of Self-Knowledge
People tend to see themselves from a narrow perspective, and, as a result, have a somewhat limited view. Also, how you see yourself may be very different from what others around you experience. Your supervisor's perspective is especially important in this regard.
Taking the time to "know yourself" can help you...
- To determine your personal strengths and weaknesses.
- Develop a realistic image of yourself.
- React appropriately to feedback in areas where you need to improve.
The USPTO Leadership Assessment is specifically designed to integrate your views with those of your supervisor to get feedback that is balanced and accurate.
