Self-Awareness in Leadership
Self-awareness is the ability to recognize and understand one's emotions and their impact on others' moods, actions, and emotions. Emotional intelligence is crucial for effective communication, strong relationships, and conflict management (Rechberg, 2020).
Behaviors of Self-Aware Leaders
Self-aware leaders make better choices by controlling behavior and interactions, create positive influence by viewing mistakes as learning opportunities, and set reasonable goals balancing team and organizational objectives (Wallbridge, 2023).
