Self-Awareness: Leadership Quality
• There is no end to the list of qualities that help to create a better leader. However, during times of uncertainty, major change and disruption, one rises to the top — self-awareness.
• The most effective leaders during challenging times have a very good sense of who they are. They have an accurate understanding of their impact on others.
• Self-aware leaders unleash optimal performance from the individuals and teams they manage.
• Organisational psychologist Tasha Eurich notes that, among other attributes, self-awareness results in leaders who are more confident and more creative – attributes that directly and positively impact the company’s culture.
