How I Used Microsoft Copilot for a Personal Leadership Audit

How I Used Microsoft Copilot for a Personal Leadership Audit

This week, I used Microsoft Copilot in a unique way—by asking it to analyze my communication style, strengths, and areas for improvement! 💼

What makes Copilot different is its secure access to my emails, chats, and documents, allowing it to provide real insights based on my real-world data. With just one prompt, I could get a breakdown of my personal leadership style, a table of strengths, and suggestions for growth. It’s an introspective exercise I’d highly recommend!

🔑 Key Takeaways:

  • Leveraging Copilot’s insights for professional self-reflection
  • Identifying areas for growth based on day-to-day communications
  • Using AI to enhance self-awareness and development

Have you used Copilot for something similar? Share your experiences in the comments!

Here’s the prompt:
==============

Look at the emails, Teams meetings, documents and Teams chats that I’ve sent in the last year. Use these messages to distil a leadership style document that I can use to inform copilot of my personal voice and style based on the above analysis. Give me a breakdown of my top 5 strengths in a Table with the following formation | Strength | description | how it helps me in my role | how it could be misunderstood | 2 ways I can build this strength. In another table give me a breakdown of 3 areas for improvement in the following formation | Improvement area | description | how it impacts my role | how it could be misunderstood | 3 ways I can improve.

==============

Also for a bit of fun, here’s a bonus idea around a similar exercise, but with a Star Wars flavour 😂

Look at my Teams chats, meetings and emails I’ve sent in the last year. Based on the above analysis, what Star Wars character would represent my style of work best, and why? What would my abilities and personality flaws be? Can you format that as a Star Wars character dossier for me?
