True Awareness for a Leader…

Means really seeing ourselves – with both clarity and kindness. This includes recognizing all the ways we get caught up in our emotions, our old ways of seeing ourselves and others, and our blind spots.
True awareness also means deeply understanding our interpersonal environments – including the myriad individual vulnerabilities and nuanced political sensitivities all around us.
