Parallel Leaders Podcast | Episode S2.01
Self-awareness is understanding how your personality traits, habits and abilities affect your interactions with the people around you.
According to John Maxwell, a lack of self-awareness holds back more good teams and derails more leaders’ careers than anything else.
Travis Bradbury and Jean Greaves, the authors of Emotional Intelligence, report the alarming impact a high self-awareness has on your performance. A study found that a high level of self-awareness was reflected in 83% of top performers, while only 2% of bottom performers displayed this trait. This indicates that self-awareness is crucial to your success as a leader.
“When we are foolish, we want to conquer the world. When we are wise, we want to conquer ourselves.” ~John C. Maxwell
