Leadership Qualities: Self Awareness<\/b><\/p>\n
Have you ever been in a situation where you looked in the mirror and started hating what you see? Or encountered a problem where you denied negative feedback from one of your friends?\u00a0 Most of us, I believe, have been in that position at a particular time. However, are you aware of the reason you\u2019ve hated something or acted the way you did?<\/span><\/p>\n Being aware of the situation means knowing a problem regarding your feelings, behaviors, and true potentials, also known as Self-Awareness. According to Mark Manson, being aware of yourself isn\u2019t just about knowing your strengths and weaknesses, but also accepting them. By taking your flaws and insecurities, you will be able to see yourself clearly as a whole, and it will impact how you do things, how you influence people, and, importantly, how you choose the good and the bad for your well-being. From what I\u2019ve learned, self-awareness comes internally and externally, by knowing your values and purpose in life, also understanding how other people see you as a person.<\/span><\/p>\n As a leader, building your self-awareness helps you create strong communications and relationships with your colleagues. Besides, it will be easier for you to carry out feedback from others, both positive and negative. A leader with self-awareness will radiate more positivity within the team, perform better decision-making, and cherish their colleagues and their opinions. By reaching a certain level of self-awareness, leaders tend to be more confident and successful in fulfilling his\/her purpose and goals.<\/span><\/p>\n To summarize it all, self-awareness is a critical skill a leader should develop within themselves. And by doing so, we must learn more about self-acceptance and keep grounded while seeking where we belong in this world.<\/span><\/p>\n Teresa Nabita Tiffany<\/span><\/p>\n Information Systems and Management<\/span><\/p>\n Staff of Digital PR<\/span><\/p>\n AIESEC in BINUS 20.21<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Resources:<\/span><\/p>\n
