3 steps to improving self-awareness 

Self-awareness is impossible to achieve overnight, but these are the three steps recommended as a good place to start: 

  1. Commit to learning the truth about yourself

    Even if the truth is scary or intimidating, choose to face up to yourself. Stop trying to see yourself through rose-tinted spectacles, and question the assumption that just because nobody is challenging you on your decisions, that everything you're doing is right. Being open-minded makes you braver and wiser.

  2. Find a "loving critic"

    This is someone who you trust and who you know wants you to be successful. However, it has to be someone who will also be completely honest and direct with you. You could find a board member or someone on your level who knows you really well, ideally who sees you every day. Ask them what you're doing well and what you're not, and you might be surprised how insightful it is. 

  3. Think about getting a coach

    If you find someone who can help you evaluate the perceptions of yourself in your company, and help you plan a couple of things to work on, you might see some dramatic improvements.
