012: Up-leveling Your Social Awareness To Step Into High Performance Leadership

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">95% of people think they are self-aware, but only between 10 and 15 percent really demonstrate high levels of self-awareness.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That might be shocking. But consider that far more than 50 percent of people that drive also think they are above average drivers… clearly that can’t be true.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The irony with self-awareness is that the more self-aware you are, the more likely you are to realize whether you are actually as self-aware and in control of your emotions as you think.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In today’s episode, I’m continuing the emotional intelligence journey and discussing how to use your newly awakened self-awareness to build great leadership. It’s time to lean into pausing, reflecting, listening, and reacting in a constructive way. To realize when your outbursts are negatively impacting your team. Taking us all from needing to be liked as a leader, or assuming that to be great at what you do you need to be feared, and instead, learning how to show up as an authentic and transparent leader that builds team productivity through understanding others around you, and acting in full knowledge of that awareness, instead of irrespective of it.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because when we act and react with knowledge of how our actions will be received we are able to boost productivity, create greater impact, boost creativity, empathy and so much more.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ready to step up your emotional intelligence and lean into your high-performance leadership? Let’s dive into part two of emotional intelligence as we turn our focus on social awareness and relationship management. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Useful links!</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Get on the Leveraging LinkedIn Kit waitlist:</span> <a href= "http://tonicollis.com/linkedinkit"><span style= "font-weight:
