自我意識：提高領導情商的關鍵

????“如果你沒有足夠的情商，沒有自我意識，不能克服負面情緒，沒有同理心也沒有良好的人際關系，那么，無論你的智商多高，你都不會取得多么大的成就?！?/p>

????——丹尼爾?戈爾曼

????“決定你能否從事某一行業的主要因素是智商。但是，在你入行之后，決定你能否成功的更重要因素是情商。這是因為，你的工作表現取決于你如何處理工作關系，而如何處理工作關系取決于情商?！?/p>

????——丹尼爾?戈爾曼

????根據最近一項對斯坦福商學院顧問委員會（Stanford Graduate School of Business Advisory Council）成員的調查，75人均將自我意識列為成功領導者最為重要的一項能力。作為領導者，需要了解自己的脾性，揚長避短。自我意識關系到分辨自身特有的習性，而領導者往往將這種特性視為理所當然，可實際上只是特例。

????自我意識對于領導者尤為關鍵，也是情商權威專家丹尼爾?戈爾曼博士認定的情商的五大維度之一。在過去，一位領導者可能僅憑智商和專業技能就可以應付管理。而在當今日趨復雜的世界，人們對領導者的標準也水漲船高；如果想要贏得別人的尊重，領導者就需要不斷提高自己的情商。

????如果你以前對所謂的“情商”不甚了解，那么我強烈建議你閱讀本文，因為這對你將非常重要！

????戈爾曼認定的情商的五個維度為：

????1. 自我意識：也就是對自身的了解

????2. 自我調節：控制自己的行為和情緒

????3. 自我激勵：知曉什么能夠和不能激勵自己

????4. 同理心：能對別人的心態感同身受并認同別人的努力

????5. 社交能力：能在任何情況下與他人達成默契

????我們認為，在科爾曼認定的五大維度中，自我意識是萬能之鑰，另外四種最終均取決于自我意識。

????“If your emotional abilities aren't in hand, if you don't have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your distressing emotions, if you can't have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get very far.

????Daniel Goleman

????“IQ is a major factor in deciding which profession you can get into. But once you are in that field, emotional intelligence emerges as a much stronger predictor of who will be most successful, because it is how we handle ourselves in our relationships that determines how well we do once we are in a given job.”

????Daniel Goleman

????A recent survey of 75 members of the Stanford Graduate School of Business Advisory Council rated self-awareness as the most important capability for leaders to develop. Executives need to know where their natural inclinations lie in order to boost them or compensate for them. Self-awareness is about identifying their own personal idiosyncrasies — the characteristics that executives take to be the norm-- but actually represent the exception.

????Self-awareness is indeed very important for leaders, and is one of the five dimensions of “Emotional Intelligence” identified by Dr. Daniel Goleman, a leading expert on the subject of “EQ.” In the old days, perhaps a person in a position of responsibility could survive solely on the basis of their “IQ” and professional expertise. But in the complex world we now live in, where people have increasingly higher standards for those they follow, leaders are expected to continuously develop their EQ if they are to earn the respect of others.

????Never heard of “Emotional Intelligence or “EQ?” Then I suggest that this article is going to be important for you!

????Goleman’s 5 Dimensions of Emotional Intelligence include:

????1. Self-awareness: literally ‘knowing yourself’

????2. Self-regulation: managing yourself and your moods

????3. Motivation: knowing what motivates you and what does not

????4. Empathy: the ability to experience others as legitimate and valuable and identify with their struggles

????5. Social skills: the ability to build rapport with others, whenever needed

????We claim that Self Awareness is the ‘master key’ to Emotional Intelligence and that the other four of Goleman’s EQ elements all ultimately link back to Self-Awareness.
