Getting Started

In order to use the toolkit you have to be registered and signed in.

You can start by completing the self-assessment forms. It is in your interest to be honest with yourself; an overly optimistic view may yield the wrong results. Even though this is not mandatory, you can also ask your peers, or supervisors to complete the 360-degree feedback forms concerning you. Having feedback on how you are perceived by others will give you a better understanding of yourself. Self-improvement starts with awareness and ends with responsibility.

As soon as the self-assessment is completed, your competency passport will be generated showing your scores for each competency. (If you also use the 360-degree feedback option you will get separate scores for that as well.) A competency passport gives a quick overview of where you stand in terms of general competencies. Simultaneously, the tool will also provide you with a Johari window (if you use the 360-degree feedback option) and an Eisenhower matrix, suggesting which things you should prioritise for improvement.

Based on this information you can then start managing your goals, and explore the possible options, things you could do to attain your goals. Proceed in small steps, by setting specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely goals. Think carefully about your options; you can surely find inspiration in the book, because the most relevant theoretical concepts and best practices are described."
