I was surprised by the feedback. I rated myself a 5.75, but my peers rated me only a 4.89 on Regulating own emotions. Also, my score on Exchange was only 3.67 as my peers rated, while I rated myself 5.00. Another surprise was that I only got 4.47 on Articulate vision from my peers. Based on these scores, I didn't control my emotion effectively, didn't provide enough incentives to my peers, and didn't give my peers a clear vision about the company. These areas are crucial for leadership, so I really need to put more effort to improve my performance in these areas.
I don't often get authentic feedback from my peers. My peers most of the time just say "You've done a good job", without giving me any detailed comments on my work. I think that honest feedback will let me have a clear picture about my leadership skills and styles, and then I can see my weaknesses and improve my leadership skills accordingly.
I agree that honest feedback would help us see our weaknesses so that we can improve. Sometimes people give us sugar-coated feedback for various reasons. Some people don't want to offend us if they give negative feedback. Some might even be jealous of our performance. Getting feedback from peers is good. But if you know that they don't give you authentic feedback, then you can always seek for honest feedback from other people. To improve, you can always ask friends, family, relatives, classmates & etc. for their feedback.
