Potential Blind Spots Blind spots are characteristics that you overestimate. You are likely to see yourself as stronger in these skills than
others see you. A self assessment can give you insight on potential areas for self improvement, however, asking
others for their input by doing a network assessment will give you far greater insight on your blind spots. Here are
your potential blind spots and some ideas for next steps:
Being Open and Receptive
Stress is noisy, and when you’re overwhelmed, it can be very hard to quiet down and pay
attention to what others are experiencing. Part of effective leadership is learning how to turn
down the volume on your own stress so you can fully engage the people around you.
Regulate your emotions – Among the first things to go when you’re pushed beyond your
limits are your openness and calm. Meditation, deep breathing, and long walks are not
health fads, they’re business tools. Develop a tool set for keeping yourself on an even keel.
•
Open the door – Literally open your door to casual check-ins, spontaneous conversation,and lending an ear to someone seeking advice. Figuratively open the door to hear others’
ideas or concerns. Essential in this effort is keeping your defensiveness at bay and
recognizing feedback as an avenue for addressing grievances and building stronger
relationships.
•
Share – Listen ten times more than you talk. When you are ready to pipe in to the
conversation, don’t hesitate to share something about yourself, use humor, maybe even
combine the two and be self-deprecating. Showing your human side will reassure other
people that you are someone they can talk to.
•
Being Organizationally Savvy
Organizations are essentially groups of people organized around a common goal. Thus,
successfully navigating organizations requires a high level of social attunement.

Understanding how to align with and influence others, form strong networks, and listen actively
to those around you are essential first steps toward finding your feet in your organization.
Build alliances – Your mission: Find commonalities with a wide range of people within
your organization. Sincerity, respect, and active listening will go a long way toward building
relationships and learning about the organization through others’ perspectives and
experiences.
•
Know your advocates – Find the key people in the organization who will work with you to
usher your projects through the maze of governance bodies and approvals. These are the
people who will take a vested interest in your success.
•
Unwritten signs – Knowing people’s titles and reporting relationships is not the complete
picture. An organization has a formal structure and an informal structure. Many times, there
are people who have power and respect without the title and they are able to influence.
Read the unwritten title on people’s nameplates.

Potential Hidden Strengths Hidden strengths are characteristics that you underestimate. You are likely to see yourself as weaker in these
skills than others see you. A self assessment can give you insight on potential areas for self improvement,
however, asking others for their input by doing a network assessment will give you far greater insight on your
hidden strengths. Here are your potential hidden strengths:
Managing Up
You relate well with higher management. You manage your career well. You know what you
want in your career. You are proactive in positioning yourself—your career aspirations and
interests—to leaders who will influence your career trajectory. You do not hesitate to take
advantage of opportunities that showcase your skills to higher management. This requires
confidence, but gaining the support of your boss and senior leaders makes the risk worth it to
you.
Focusing on the Bottom Line
You are achievement oriented. You are eager to take action and see results. Even when you
encounter obstacles, your energy and perseverance keep you going. You are motivated and
optimistic. At your best, you ensure that your actions are focused rather than letting
momentum take over. You attribute much of your strong performance to your sense of
urgency, drive, and resilience.

Vincy Joseph's Assessment Results
Problem Areas Problem areas can be hard to talk about. However, we want to arm you with as much information as possible
about the roots of success as well as known causes of derailment. Through studying the career trajectories of
thousands of individual contributors, managers, and executives, we’ve identified the five most common barriers
to career success. If you suspect one or more of these areas is a problem for you, the section below will provide
initial steps toward improvement.
Doesn't Inspire or Build Talent
One of the toughest career transitions you’ll ever face is making the switch from individual
contributor to leader. When you’re used to relying entirely on yourself, it can be a shock to find
yourself at the mercy of a team. Anyone in a new leadership role struggles with how to
relinquish control, trust others, inspire people to bring their best, build a sense of team
cohesion, identify individual strengths, and grow leadership capabilities in others. If you
struggle in these areas, welcome to the club. But if you want to be a leader, it’s essential thatyou learn how to inspire and grow the people on your team by providing the right balance of
direction, coaching, and support. You will see improvements in this area as you begin to give
up some control and depend upon others. Not doing so will likely slow or stall your career
progress.
Be a leader – Contrary to what many people believe, emerging as a leader is not about
dominating, outshining, and beating others to the punch. Great leaders are people who
know how to elicit outstanding work from their team and help develop leadership
capabilities in others. Great leaders listen closely to their team, cue into individual
strengths, and step aside so others can practice taking the lead.
•
Keep it safe – Healthy debate is part of any strong team, but triangulation, favoritism,
trash-talking, or sabotage is not. If you’re leading a team, you’re also helping to set the

tone for what’s acceptable. Allowing for bad behavior makes the team unsafe and
unhealthy. It’s all right to be the downer sometimes, set limits, and referee so that people
can relax and connect and do their best work.
Delegate to develop – Delegation is not only about leveraging your team and increasing
efficiency, it’s also about developing the members of your team. Bringing them closer to
tough decision making, complex problem solving, and personal investment means you’renot overburdened, and they’re stretching and growing on the job.
•
Too Narrow
It was probably your deep level of expertise that got you noticed in school and later at work.
People relied on your insights and technical prowess, your patience with complex ideas, and
your ability to get to the root of a problem or see a hidden solution. These skills won you so
much admiration and respect that they eventually got you promoted. Congratulations! Now for
the hard part: in this new role, you’re expected to do things that make little or no use of your
specialized skills—managing people and projects, collaborating with other departments,hustling for resources, making strategic decisions, and solving operational problems. Now
what? Challenge yourself to break away from your comfort zone and focus on broadening your
skill set. Finding ways to continuously learn about things outside your field will give you fresh
insights and augment your contribution at work. Holding on too tightly to what you know can
make you seem narrow and rigid and will likely slow or stall your career progress.
Deploy yourself – One of the most marketable experiences you can put on your resume is
having worked in another country. What this communicates is your ability to function
effectively in an entirely novel context. If moving out of the country isn’t on your list of
things to do, reaching across departments or cross-teaming with experts from other
functional areas can also stretch and grow you in ways that will pay off across the board.

Trust your instincts – If analysis is your game, you may not be making the most of your •

instincts. One of the rewards for developing true expertise in a particular area is that you’ve
likely developed a sixth sense for when things feel right, wrong, or where an interesting
solution might be hiding just out of sight. Don’t be afraid to break from the data occasionally
and let your intuition be your guide.
Broaden your horizons – Being a good forecaster and strategic thinker requires keeping
an eye out for patterns and trends across multiple fronts—science, business, and the arts.Challenge yourself to read journals from outside your area of expertise and watch for
interconnections across systems (culture, demographics, economics, etc.). This will lead to
unexpected insights in your own field and help you anticipate what’s coming around the
corner.

Vincy Joseph's Assessment Results
Korn/Ferry Insights Here’s how you compare to others:
Acting with Honor and Character
Acting with Honor and Character is ranked highest in importance compared to all other leadership skills. It is the foundation upon which all other leadership skills are built. Most
people are highly skilled in Acting with Honor and Character. It is moderately difficult to
develop. Being trustworthy, consistent, and ethical are viewed by most employers as price-of-
admission leadership qualities.
Communicating Effectively
Communicating Effectively is particularly important at the individual contributor level. The
number of people who are good communicators tends to be lower at the individual contributor
level but steadily increases among managers and executives. With a little effort, this skill is nothard to develop. The ability to tailor your delivery and clearly articulate your points builds
credibility for both you and your message.
Understanding the Business
Understanding the Business is moderately important at all levels of leadership and is linked to
success early in your career. The skill level for most people in Understanding the Business is
very high, so you will need to combine it with other skills to pull ahead of the pack. One of the
reasons most people have this skill is that it’s easier to learn, compared to other skills. Your
knowledge of how businesses operate and your expertise in your functional area are likely tobe considered price-of-admission qualities.

ProSpective Assessment
Vincy Joseph's Assessment ResultsCaring About Others: Korn/Ferry Insights (Cont'd)
Most people are moderately skilled in Caring About Others, and it is moderately difficult to
develop. Leaders who are skilled in Caring About Others also tend to be skilled in Managing
Diverse Relationships and Being Open and Receptive. Taking an interest in others and
showing kindness and concern demonstrate how much you value others and can impact your
ability to lead and influence others.
Managing Work Processes
Managing Work Processes is highly correlated with strong performance at the manager level.
Managers are often responsible for seeing the big picture and understanding how the pieces
interrelate. Most people are low in this skill, and it is moderately difficult to develop. The ability
to see a process as a dynamic system and to understand how tweaks create ripple effects is a
vital contribution to a business and will differentiate you from other leaders.
Managing Up
Managing Up is a strong skill for most people across all leadership levels. However, it may not
be surprising that the skill improves as leaders move up to the manager and executive levels.
Many people are not aware of their ability to manage up—it is one of the most common hidden
strengths for individual contributors, managers, and executives. Your ability to garner support
from senior leaders gives you the opportunity to position your ideas and influence your career
trajectory.
Focusing on the Bottom Line
Focusing on the Bottom Line is critically important. It is highly correlated with performance at
the individual contributor and manager levels. The ability to get results is also related to getting
promoted at the individual contributor and manager levels. The skill level for most people is
very high, and it is one of the easiest leadership skills to develop. Focusing on the Bottom Line
is a non-negotiable for anyone who wants to succeed at work.

Vincy Joseph's Assessment ResultsKorn/Ferry Insights (Cont'd)
Being Open and Receptive
Most people are moderately skilled in Being Open and Receptive, and it is moderately difficult
to develop. Listening, patience, and a relaxed sense of humor are qualities that will help you
build strong relationships with your colleagues and team.
Being Organizationally Savvy
Being Organizationally Savvy is moderately important across all leadership levels. It is a rare
skill at the individual contributor level, but leaders steadily improve as they rise to the manager
and executive levels. Slow but steady improvement is laudable, given that this is one of the
hardest leadership skills to develop. Your ability to navigate organizational mazes to get things
done can mean the difference between stalled initiatives and moving things forward.
Doesn't Inspire or Build Talent
Doesn’t Inspire or Build Talent is a staller that can slow your career progress. Compared to
other stallers, Doesn’t Inspire or Build Talent is the most likely to be a problem, and it is more
harmful to success. Many leaders underestimate this problem to some degree. This area is a
known derailer, especially at the manager and executive levels. The inability to select,
develop, and empower talent will choke your ability to get results and lead a healthy,
productive team.
Too Narrow
Too Narrow is a staller that can slow your career progress. Compared to other stallers, Too
Narrow is more likely to be a problem but tends to be least harmful to success. Many leaders,
particularly at the individual contributor and executive levels, underestimate this problem to
some degree. This area is a known derailer, especially at the executive level. Over-reliance on
a single skill set or area of expertise can brand you as someone who lacks perspective or is
stuck in the past.
