perception about my behavior, on the following traits:

2. Initiative
3. Analysis
4. Flexibility
5. Team playing skills

On analyzing the feedback data collected I will be able compare my assumptions on my behavior and what
the humans connected with me actually see. This will be one of the best ways to learn and to understand
all the positive traits in me and the areas where I need to work upon. This learning will aid me to become a
better individual.

As is evident from the table it can be seen that:
1. I have achieved excellence and need to maintain that level in areas like:
• Taking initiative
• Being a Team player
• Being a source of Motivation
• Communication
• Ability to learn
• Work standards
2. To live up to my assumptions & reach excellence, I need to work on areas like:
• Flexibility
• Adaptability
• Attitude
• Personality
This assignment is an eye opener which clearly shows the gap between my assumptions and the real
picture. With this data one can strive to achieve excellence in becoming a better human being.
