Listen "The Self-Aware Leader"
Episode Synopsis
Within this episode, we will explore the concept of self-awareness, what it actually is and the role it takes within leadership.
Starting with the definition being "a conscious knowledge of one’s own character and feelings" we then delve into the levels of self-awareness. We consider the role of self-awareness in terms of consciousness and how self-awareness can be both positive as well as negative; leading to anxiety and depression. We look at self-reflection and self-evaluation as key contributors to developmental progress and growth. We bring in the role of feedback and how this can influence the development of others in terms of their self-reflection. We look at self-regulation and the role our working environment plays within this as well as the demands of the workplace. We come to a close, reflecting on predispositions and the role self-regulation plays in addressing these.
Throughout look at the role leadership plays, in terms of the considerations leaders must have of both their own level of self-awareness as well as that of others. Taking time out to reflect on the important role self-awareness plays within leadership, reflecting on ourselves, will increase our ability to consider others empathetically and as a result allow us to lead more effectively.
