Coach versus self: perception gaps
The gap between what you see and what the player sees, on the same framework, in the same numbers.
Steps
- Ask the player to rate themselves, or wait for them to do it unprompted.
- Open the player record and read the one-line summary under the radar: how far they rate themselves against your scores on average, and which pillar you are furthest apart on.
- Press History and progress and read Biggest perception gaps for the per-pillar picture.
- Read Coach vs self for the per-skill table.
Good to know
- The gap is the player's score minus yours. A positive number means they rate themselves higher than you do.
- The per-skill table only lists skills you have both rated. A skill only one of you scored is left out rather than shown as a gap.
- A big gap is information, not a problem. It is usually the fastest route into a useful conversation.
- The comparison uses your latest assessment and their latest self-assessment.
