The key takeaways are that self-awareness allows one to understand how their actions and emotions align with their values and how others perceive them. It also helps leaders assess their effectiveness and make changes.

The two types of self-awareness discussed are public self-awareness, which is being aware of how one appears to others, and private self-awareness, which involves noticing and reflecting on one's internal state.

Some benefits of self-awareness include being happier and having better relationships, experiencing a sense of personal and social control, higher job satisfaction, becoming better decision makers, gaining self-confidence, understanding multiple perspectives, and having a greater ability to regulate emotions.

SELF AWARENESS

What is self awareness ?


Self-awareness is the ability to focus on yourself and how your actions, thoughts, or
emotions do or don't align with your internal standards.
If you're highly self-aware, you can objectively evaluate yourself, manage your
emotions, align your behavior with your values, and understand correctly how others
perceive you.
Developing self-awareness is important because it allows leaders to assess their
growth and effectiveness and change course when necessary.
Two States Of Self Awareness

There are two distinct kinds of self-awareness, public and private.

Public self-awareness: Being aware of how we can appear to others. Because of this
consciousness, we are more likely to adhere to social norms and behave in ways that
are socially acceptable.
While there are benefits to this type of awareness, there is also the danger of tipping
into self-consciousness. Those who are especially high in this trait may spend too
much time worrying about what others think of them.
Private self-awareness

Being able to notice and reflect on one’s internal state. Those who have private self-
awareness are introspective, approaching their feelings and reactions with curiosity.
When self-awareness tips into self-consciousness, we are reluctant to share certain
aspects of ourselves. We develop a persona that lacks authenticity. Noticing the
physical sensations and correctly attributing them to your anxiety about the meeting
would be an example of private self-awareness.
Why is self-awareness important?

People who are aware of how people see them are more likely to be empathetic to
people with different perspectives. Leaders whose self-perception matches others'
perceptions are more likely to empower, include, and recognize others.
We are able to recognize the effect that we have on others People with self-awareness
are happier and have better relationships. They also experience a sense of personal
and social control as well as higher job satisfaction.

What's the self-awareness gap?

 Self-awareness is a staple in contemporary leadership jargon. Although many


leaders will brag about how self-aware they are, only 10 to 15 percent of the
population fit the criteria.
 Many of us grew up with the message that you should not show your emotions, so
we attempt to ignore or suppress them. With negative emotions, that doesn't go
very well for us. We either internalize them (resulting in anger, resentment,
depression, and resignation) or we externalize them and blame, discount, or bully
others.
 Lack of self-awareness can be a significant handicap in leadership. A study
conducted by Adam D. Galinsky and colleagues at Northwestern's Kellogg School
of Management found that often, as executives climb the corporate ladder, they
become more self-assured and confident.
