(32) VerifiedJust as we use a mirror in morning to shave or fix our hair, we can use other people as a mirror to see ourselves more clearly.Many people have blind spots-attributes about themselves that they are not aware of or don't recognize as problems-that limit their effectiveness and hinder their career success.When we go through life without feedback, we're like the balding man who sweeps thin strands of hair across his scalp and thinks no one notices.Seeking feedback to enhance self-awareness can improve performance and job satisfaction for both managers and employees.We all have illusions about ourselves, so we need help from others to get a clear picture of who we are.Another highly valuable way to increase self-awareness is self-assessment, which uses self-inquiry and reflection to gain insights into oneself from the results of scores on self-assessment instruments such as those discussed throughout this text.By completing these assessments as honestly as possible, you can analyze your scores and increase your understanding of various aspects of yourself.Self-assessment also means regularly reflecting on our thoughts and feelings.Introspection-reflecting on our experiences, examining the effects of our actions and behavior, looking at the consequences for ourselves and others, and asking, "What can I learn?" is a valuable use of time that too many managers overlook.Some people keep a journal, meditate, or just sit quietly and think through their day.A manager who understands himself or herself is better able to understand and interact effectively with others.
