Why self awareness is important at work? Becoming a good manager and leader is a personal journey as much as a professional journey. How well we know ourselves and can manage ourselves, in my view, is directly related to how well we can manage other. Being more self aware is an essential step to self improvement and personal development. Become a better leader at work by first leading yourself better.

There has been a lot in the business press in recent years about self awareness and emotional intelligence for very good reason. A lack of self awareness is a huge blocker or barrier to good management of others. Increasing the performance of any team through better management (rather than changing the team members) is an incredibly valuable skillset and delivers hundreds of thousands plus of extra value to companies.

I pose a ton of questions for you to consider answering to yourself about what is self awareness and why is it important in a leadership context.

I then explain why it is so incredibly valuable for you to put in the effort and time to become more self ware, to learn more about who you are, what you want and what makes you tick.

Be a better leader at work. Work on know more about yourself.
