Recently, one of the biggest complaints that I have been hearing about leaders is how a lack of self-awareness is impacting their performance. Employees complain about leaders who are totally oblivious to how their behaviours, words and actions create distrust and frustration amongst those around them.
In fact, a study by Carter Cast to uncover why managers and leaders had been fired, demoted or had plateaued in their careers revealed that the culprit was personal blind spots. Leaders who were unaware of weaknesses in their interpersonal behaviour, and were unwilling, when confronted with evidence, to make adjustments.
Research indicates that those who have an inflated sense of their own skills and who understate these interpersonal issues are six times more likely to fail than those with accurate self-awareness.
But not only that, when we lack self-awareness we really do fall into the narcissism camp. Narcissists are unable to see their faults and spend most of their time defending their actions, talking about how great they are and pushing their own agenda. Narcissists make terrible leaders. So if you know that you're not a narcissist, then do what you can to improve your self awareness. Your people will thank you for it!
