Here are some key takeaways from the interview:

1. Take feedback

This is the best way to know you’re doing something wrong. Take all the feedback you can get, and consider it carefully. Some may be way off, but you can find some of your weaknesses by paying attention.

2. Work on your self-awareness

Your biggest enemy is your autopilot. Your defense mechanisms tend to kick in way too early, and they get in the way of cooperation. Becoming more self-aware helps you master your instincts and salvage situations that may spiral out of control.

3. Invest in yourself

There are many different ways for you to improve your leadership soft skills. Some are free, others cost money, but they all cost time and energy. Invest that in your soft skills to improve your professional and personal life at the same time.

4. Help others in your organization

Improving leadership skills on every level of your company will certainly pay off. You can use your one-on-one meetings to coach and mentor your direct reports so they sharpen up their leadership soft skills.
