<p>Virtually every book, course, and program on leadership begins with self-understanding. That’s no accident; it’s because managing ourselves helps us lead others more effectively. In this episode, Margaret and I explore the six key questions that will help you manage yourself better.</p>
<h3>Key Points</h3>
<ul>
<li>When people are asked to describe the attributes of their best bosses, 85% of the responses highlight interpersonal skills.</li>
<li>Our differences are our features, not our flaws. Knowing yourself well helps you lead others better.</li>
</ul>
<p>Six Questions for Self-Understanding:</p>
<ol>
<li>Who, and whose thinking, has shaped you as an individual?</li>
<li>What situations and events have helped shape your perspective?</li>
<li>What does success look like for you?</li>
<li>What are your core values, and how have these values changed throughout your life?</li>
<li>To what extent are you aware of—and allow yourself to feel—your emotions?</li>
<li>What feedback have you received over the years about how your actions and behaviors impact others?</li>
</ol>
