Such great article Dr. Jon! I’m not sure I’ve always been successful in my attempts to do these things. In fact, I know I’ve failed! But, I can say, I don’t think I’ve ever regretted being self aware or transparent. “Be real because being fake is simply too hard”, is a profound truth. Blessings y’all.
PREACH!!! I frequently tell myself as a leader: The most dangerous kind of confidence is that which is born out of ignorace.
Jon - what resources do you recommend for pursuing self-awareness?
Also would mention that the value of self-awareness goes beyond leadership. It also impacts our walk with Christ. To quote the opening sentence of John Calvin's Institutes of Christian Religion:
"Without knowledge of self, there is no knowledge of God. Nearly all the wisdom we possess, that is to say, true and sound wisdom, consists of two parts: the knowledge of God and of ourselves."
It’s been years since I read it, but John Maxwell wrote a leadership book on self awareness. I remember it being good, even though my brain doesn’t remember the details of it. 😏

So true Robert! I’m pretty sure none of us have always been successful in this area. That’s for certain!
