The challenge with leadership development is that it requires a certain level of self-awareness and a genuine desire to improve. Unfortunately, the leaders who need the most growth are often the least self-aware, and theyβre the ones causing the most issues.
Thank you @betteconnects I agree. Willpower to change and reduce blindspots are essential.
Self-awareness is actually quite rare. Dr. Jeff King, associate professor and co-chair of The Ohio State University Leadership Center, shared that 95% of people in a study believed they were self-aware. However, less than 15% met the criteria for self-awareness (Eurich, 2018). Some of the roadblocks for leaders to attaining self-awareness are experience and power, as more senior leaders tend to receive less candid feedback.
Efficient self-awareness requires more than just introspection.

Wow - that is quite a discrepancy. Seems like the Dunning-Krueger effect may be at play here.
