Self-Awareness is Your Superpower

If you’re in the business of dealing with people, you need to understand them. And before you understand them, you need to understand yourself. Know yourself as in not who you’d like yourself to be. But who you actually are.

No opinion, just facts.

It’s mind boggling how many of us don’t do that.   I’ve been guilty of this myself.   Seeing through our layers requires an intentional and conscious effort.  And with life at it's hyper speed, who’s got the time for that?  

So back to understanding ourselves better.  

👉 You may be an extrovert who needs to start listening a little more.

👉 Or an introvert who needs to find his voice a little more.  

👉 You may be the most agreeable person who needs to put his foot down a little more.  

👉 You may prefer getting in the details but delegate a little more.  

👉 You may thrive in structure but navigate through ambiguity a little more.  

👉 You might be emotionally reactive but need to chill a little more.  

👉 You could be someone playing too safe but seek adventure a little more.  

It’s all about making little tweaks, adding a little more of what doesn't come naturally to our styles.

Be more aware to be more prepared.   Self-awareness is the key to effective leadership!
