Becoming Self-Aware COURSE OUTLINE

WELCOME Welcome to the Becoming Self-Aware program. Research carried out by the Korn Ferry Institute found that “companies with higher rates of return on stock also have employees with few personal blind spots.” In other words, they evidenced a correlation between self-awareness in leaders and overall financial performance.

We are commonly driven as leaders to focus on our team and individuals. Ae often focus on engaging our teams in order to drive competitive advantage.

We also spend time on the management of change and improvements in organizational performance. While doing these vital activities, we often overlook ourselves as the leader when, in fact, one of the most important traits of a successful leader is to develop their self-awareness. In this way, they become aware of what drives them and their decision-making.
