Self-assessment observes how you respond to change using evidence; it is not a personal label. It reveals strengths to retain and behaviours that can be trained.

After NexoLab's first phase, each person reviewed concrete situations: a changed priority, new tool, disagreement and incident. This was more useful than merely asking, “Am I adaptable?”

Observable dimensions

Assess your actions in:

  • openness to new perspectives;
  • regulation under pressure;
  • learning and help-seeking;
  • prioritisation and decision-making;
  • communication, collaboration and review.

For each dimension, record a situation, action, outcome, evidence and one behaviour to repeat or modify.

Common Mistakes and Tips

Mistake: relying on the perception from one difficult day. Tip: look for patterns across several situations and sources.

Mistake: turning self-assessment into self-judgement. Tip: focus on behaviours that can be observed and changed.

Exercise: Three-Change Journal

Describe three recent changes. For each, note the initial reaction, final response, outcome evidence and one learning point.

Suggested Solution

With a new tool, the reaction may be avoidance; the final response, requesting a demonstration and practising; evidence, completing a task; learning, reserving trial time before rollout.

Conclusion

Useful self-assessment turns change experiences into data for selecting one concrete improvement.
