Thank you for listening to The Champion Forum Podcast with Jeff Hancher! What does it take to become an effective leader? Self-awareness is one of the key attributes of effective leaders because it allows them to reflect honestly on their performance and adapt their leadership style. In this episode, Jeff talks about how being aware of your strengths, weaknesses, style, personality, and preferences can have a significant impact on how you behave and interact with others. If you are unaware, you risk creating an environment where people do not trust you and feel uncomfortable giving you feedback. This kind of situation will cause setbacks for your team, your company, and your personal growth.
