“Knowing Yourself” is a subject that has perhaps been said since the very beginning of humanity and that we all think we know. According to research, the rate of those who answer this question as “Very Good” and “I Know It Well” is 95%! However, studies show us that in reality, the rate of individuals who know themselves and have high self-awareness is unfortunately not even 15%.
Self Awareness
Öz Farkındalık, temelde, kendimizi açık ve net bir şekilde görebilme yeteneği; kim olduğumuzu, başkalarının bizi nasıl gördüğünü ve bu dünyada nasıl bir yer aldığımızı anlama aslında
It has been scientifically proven by many studies that individuals with high self-awareness;
- They live a much happier life
- They make much smarter decisions
- They can establish much better personal and business relationships than others.
- They raise much happier and more mature children.
- They are much more creative, self-confident, and better communicators.
- They become much less aggressive and much less likely to lie, cheat and steal.
- And they also perform much better at work and have a much easier time getting promoted.
And the beauty of it is that it is a talent and like any other talent, it can be developed.
In interviews with leaders with high self-awareness, two basic points were found to be common to all of them; that self-awareness is really important. inner beliefs and to develop their self-awareness to work continuously The importance they give. The important conclusion we can draw here is that the development of Self-Awareness is not a one-time work; introspection, questioning and discovery It is a constantly ongoing process.
7 Sources of Foresight
The starting point for the development of Self-Awareness 7 Basic Forecast Sources values, passions, sources of inspiration, ideal environment, life cycles, reaction-action and how we are seen by others. We need to base a lifelong process of examination-evaluation on these sources of insight.
Of course, there are obstacles to accessing these sources of insight, and most of the time we are not aware of them. This is generally The Self Illusion (delusion, fantasy, self-delusion) we say, but in fact this is a fantasy world where we only see what we want to see. And the biggest reason for this fantasy world is the excessive confidence that most of us have, unfortunately. Especially in senior managers, this situation can lead to more critical results; a manager with low self-awareness is more likely to mess things up than others. 6 times more The reason behind this is that Self-Awareness is actually the base ability of skills such as Emotional Intelligence, Empathy, Team Building, which are essential for many managers, in other words, it does not seem possible for our age of managers with low self-awareness to reach the required high emotional intelligence and empathy levels. For this reason, training and coaching activities that increase Self-Awareness seem essential, especially for managers.

Human Design – Human Design
Increasingly popular in recent years Human Design It is another tool that can help us understand our own potential. Unfortunately, due to the conditioning we received in childhood, we try to live a life that is very different from what we actually are and we usually embark on adventures that end in disappointment. Human Design is a tool that makes it easier for you to be aware of yourself and especially has an extension on the corporate side. BG5 (Business Group 5) We can learn how to carry this awareness into our work.
The Importance of Feedback
The most important work that can increase our Self-Awareness is to learn from others. Feedback is to take. Every new perspective we gain about our behaviors helps us see ourselves in a much richer and more multidimensional way. Each of these different perspectives are the people around us. Especially the negative feedback we receive is very valuable. Because it gives us very important clues about how we are perceived by others. If there is a very serious difference between our perception of ourselves and the honest feedback we receive, then there is a serious problem.
To summarize
Self-awareness is a skill that can be easily developed by using the 7 Foresight resources well, observing oneself and one’s mistakes, asking for feedback from others, and observing others objectively. If a person feels emotionally unstable, they should be alert and continue to observe. These irregularities actually mean that some of the mistakes in their personality are coming to light. It is also very important for us to be open to learning about ourselves and to be courageous in asking for feedback from others. As we have stated before, Self-Awareness is actually the most important of the main building blocks that new generation leaders should have in their dough, for this reason Alignment Key We have prepared as "New Generation Leadership" the first topic of our program Self Awareness We have determined it as.
