Self-Awareness Training for Leaders

Looking at 50+ years of our leadership research, we’ve identified the 4 essential leadership skills every leader needs: communication, influence, learning agility, and self-awareness. Among these, self-awareness can be the toughest to develop, but it’s the key to unlocking all the other skills. 

Think about it: a manager’s social identity shapes how they lead and interact with others. By understanding this and knowing how they’re perceived, they can become better influencers and communicators.

Reflecting on experiences and learning from them helps leaders tackle new challenges with fresh insights. In short, self-awareness is the cornerstone of effective leadership.

Organizations can boost their leaders’ effectiveness by offering opportunities to cultivate greater self-understanding through self-awareness training. So set your people managers up for success in all areas of leadership with our targeted internal workshops or our highly personalized leadership development programs.

By leveraging our content, your leaders can develop increased self-understanding in 4 areas:

• Leadership wisdom, insights from experience they can apply to the challenges they face.
• Leadership identity, who they are in their current professional and personal contexts.
• Leadership reputation, how others perceive them as a leader based on current and previous behavior.
• Leadership brand, what they aspire to and the actions they take to support that mission.
