You may turn down a job offer over the telephone. Once you have started working and somewhat settled into a career, you cannot just sit back and relax. It is imperative that you strive at improving yourself continually, in order for any of us to be great achievers in our lives we all have to manage ourselves wisely. This concept is stressed in an article written by Peter F. Drucker, in the Harvard Business Review. Drucker first stresses that people need to focus on what truly are their strengths.
Most people think they know what they are good at.
They are usually wrong. Drucker shows that one of the most effective ways to discover your strengths is through feedback analysis. Feedback analysis is a concept concerning evaluating key decisions you have made approximately nine to twelve months later. By doing this you can begin to understand the positive and negative effects of a decision and in turn start to realize what true strengths you possess. Drucker also stresses the need to understand how one performs.
