 Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, what lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared with what lies within us. Self-awareness is important to leaders for a few reasons. First, it helps us take stock of our skills, both strengths and weaknesses. Second, self-awareness helps us understand how others relate to us. Third, knowing ourselves is important to identify what is important to us so that we can communicate that to others. Take a cue from Ralph Waldo Emerson and think about what lies within. His quote comes from Adam Grant's new book, Think Again, where the first four chapters talk about understanding our own thinking. Lead well this week.
