SUMMARY:
What if there was one skill you could learn that would impact everything about your leadership potential? Author, executive coach, and organizational psychologist, Dr. Tasha Eurich talks with Jason Jaggard about why self-awareness is a “must have” for leaders and provides some simple but effective tools for increasing this leadership competency. Join us as we learn more about the “meta skill for the 21st century.”
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
BUSINESSES TRANSFORM PEOPLE AND PEOPLE TRANSFORM BUSINESSES. Starting something can be a significant mechanism for personal growth.
SELF-AWARENESS DEFINED. Self-awareness is the will and the skill to understand who we are and how other people see us.
THE META-SKILL OF THE 21st CENTURY. Not only does self-awareness have a tangible impact on most measures of personal success, it is foundational to almost every other important leadership skill.
BEWARE OF YOUR ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT YOUR OWN SELF-AWARENESS. While most people believe they are self-aware, only 10-15% of the population truly are. Leaders should begin with the assumption that they need help in this area.
IT’S NOT IF A LEADER’S LACK OF SELF-AWARENESS WILL CATCH UP TO THEM, BUT WHEN. Team retention and morale will be decidedly impacted.
THE HIGHER UP YOU ARE IN AN ORGANIZATION, THE MORE OF A CHALLENGE THIS WILL BE. Higher-level leaders are less likely to receive honest, candid feedback from leaders below them, and also have fewer leaders above them to give them feedback.
TOOLS FOR GROWTH:
To develop INTERNAL self-awareness, check in daily at the end of the day:
- What went well today?
- What didn’t go so well today?
- What can I do to be smarter tomorrow?
To develop EXTERNAL self-awareness, invite a trusted friend to a “meal of truth”:
- What do I do that is most annoying to you?
FIND “LOVING CRITICS” TO HELP YOU. Social pain can feel as significant and “real” as physical pain. Be wise in who you choose to receive feedback from.
