HOW TO DEVELOP SELF-AWARENESS IN LEADERSHIP

My son Ryan Kidd asked me a question yesterday that started an interesting conversation around self-leadership -

" What if you never had a growth plan in your life, Dad? What would I be doing today?" We enjoyed the silence but then said with a laugh, that was a moment we were permitted to explore for a very short period of time; thanks for the motivation and reminder of what we do in business and as a family...

We then chatted about some indicators we have done our whole life.. and this is why we are different.. Self-awareness on Leadership

1. Obsessed with EXAMINING YOUR EMOTIONS

Too many of us go through life repressing our emotions rather than listening to them. We study emotions every hour on the hour and study patterns and triggers...

2. EXAMINE YOUR INTERACTIONS

Your circle - How do you feel in particular circles - What peers do you surround yourself with - Do they lift you up or bring you down - Do they discuss the norm or inspire you to create and innovate?

3. FIND YOUR PATTERNS

Emotions lead to actions and actions create our lives. Once you’re in the habit of examining your emotions, begin to look for patterns. Do you find you get defensive or make excuses when something doesn’t go your way? You can?change these patterns?– but only if you’re honest with yourself.

4. ASK FOR INPUT

Be nurtured and coached to navigate your way through the journey of life. Model and mirror who gets the results you want to achieve; this becomes the benchmark for the journey ahead. Raising standards beyond who your modelling becomes a great anchor for turning up every day... Aiming for the level beyond excellence..

5. LEARN TO ADJUST

Self-awareness in leadership?is about using your newfound knowledge and emotional mastery to adjust your actions to any situation. Constantly know you know nothing and absorb information daily to grow. Know that meeting someone is an opportunity to discover something you do not know today..

6. PRACTICE SELF-DISCIPLINE

Hold yourself accountable and measurable - You must be the example, and through self-discipline in all areas of your life, you must be disciplined every day to lead your way in your life's journey.

7. STAY CURIOUS

Self-awareness in leadership?is a lifelong process, and you must stay curious. Never live in certainty as you'll stop being curious; live in a growth- - contribution-connection mindset, and you'll maintain a mindset of knowing we have much more to learn and know.

8. GET A COACH

Doing it alone will limit what you can do in one lifetime. Get coaches, and you'll lead multiple lives with what you achieve. Live life with a growth plan or live life with no growth plan we are fully aware of what the outcomes will be...
