The Importance of Self-Awareness in Leadership

Self-awareness is a crucial trait for leaders and product managers. Understanding one's emotions, strengths, and struggles is essential for personal growth and effective leadership. By being aware of biases, triggers, and emotional patterns, leaders can make informed decisions and develop stronger relationships with their teams. Self-awareness allows leaders to set a positive example and create a healthy work environment that fosters growth and avoids passing on personal struggles to team members.
