Why Self-Awareness is So Important
Do you remember the fable "The Emperor's New Clothes" - a short tale by Hans Christian Andersen? It is about two weavers who promise an emperor a new suit of clothes that is invisible to those who are unfit for their positions, stupid, or incompetent. When the Emperor parades before his subjects in his "new clothes," no one dares to say that he doesn't see any suit of clothes until a child cries out, "But he isn't wearing anything at all!" The tale has been translated into over a hundred languages.
In the corporate world this plays out in a similar but more impactful way. As executives rise in the ranks, there are fewer and fewer people they can turn to for advice. Compounding this is the limiting belief that asking for advice is a sign of weakness. Human Resources counsel lots of employees, leaders and some executives. Rarely will a CEO turn to HR for advice or coaching. This is a great opportunity for us! We are
