self awareness 自知之明

Authentic leadership begins with self-awareness, or knowing yourself deeply. Self-awareness is not a trait you are born with but a capacity you develop throughout your lifetime. It’s your understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, your purpose in life, your values and motivations, and how and why you respond to situations in a particular way. It requires a great deal of introspection and the ability to internalize feedback from others. (from: Harvard Business Review on Bringing Your Whole Self to Work)

真正的領導始於自知之明，或者深入了解你自己。自知之明不是你與生俱來的特質，而是你一生中發展出來的能力。它是指你知道自己的強項和弱點、你人生的目的、你的價值觀和動機，以及你如何和為何以特定的方式回應某些情況。這需要大量的反省，以及能將來自他人的意見回饋內化。
