Personal professional development is an important component in becoming a leader people want to work for. An effective approach to professional development is to self-reflect on experiences of success or failure to learn what worked or did not work in your communication, negotiation, and collaboration with internal and external colleagues. A key piece of this is feedback from others. Their honest, constructive feedback can allow you to see your strengths and weaknesses. Fostering these types of professional relationships can be beneficial to both you and others.
