Theme of the month: Blind spots and weaknesses

The theme of the month in May is our weaknesses and blind spots. But why should we start talking about them?
Here are 5 tips to begin with.
5 tips why you should talk about your weaknesses
1. Increased Self-Awareness: Talking about your weaknesses can help you identify areas of your personality or behaviour needing improvement. This self-awareness can help you develop a plan to address your weaknesses and become a better version of yourself.
 
2. Overcoming Shame: Admitting your weaknesses can be difficult, as it may make you feel vulnerable or ashamed. However, by discussing your weaknesses, you can overcome these negative feelings and develop a more positive self-image.
 
3. Building Trust: Sharing your weaknesses with others can help build trust and create a deeper connection with them. When you open up about your vulnerabilities, others may feel more comfortable doing the same, leading to more authentic and meaningful relationships.
 
4. Receiving Feedback: When you talk about your weaknesses, you may receive constructive feedback from others. This feedback can help you identify blind spots or areas of improvement that you may not have considered otherwise.
 
5. Personal Growth: You can create a roadmap for personal growth and development by talking about your weaknesses. This process can help you set goals, track progress, and ultimately become the best version of yourself.

Looking back to February

In February, the focus was on the workplace atmosphere and communication on my social media pages and my groups. We looked at what core values each company advertises and what comes true in reality.

Although a lot depends on the company culture and the attitude of the management, the responsibility of the individual and the desire to change are equally necessary.

Unfortunately, in many countries today, the authoritarian leadership attitude is still very typical, and this can only be shaped by continuous development and a real aspiration to change. Fortunately, it is becoming increasingly common for management to be sent for developmental training and leadership coaching or for internal coaches to be employed. However, this often does not last long, partly because an inner coach can never be completely objective since he also receives his or her salary from the company and works under the same managers. Also, in many cases, no coaching process would ensure the integration of the imparted knowledge after training.

The other topic we talked about was the forms of workplace harassment and the importance of having eyes and ears to notice and act against it. You can read more about it:

But before you say, I blame the entire management; it’s not the case. Many managers report that they are under intense pressure from both sides and are stressed. They cannot share their difficulties with their team members because they feel it is humiliating and devaluing. Also, their line managers usually encounter disinterest. That is why it is good to have an independent external specialist, not bound by the corporate hierarchy system but by confidentiality.

The most essential thing in every case is to look for the steps that can be taken on an individual level. At the same time, we must be aware of the limits of our competence and our responsibilities. Leaving our comfort zone to fight for those core values and implementing them is the way to create a pleasant work atmosphere.
