If you want to lead others, you must first lead yourself.

Leadership demands many qualities, and a strong self-awareness is among the most crucial.

Developing self-awareness is challenging, and that’s why not everyone succeeds in leadership.

Leadership, in any context, is about bringing people together. You can't achieve this if you're disconnected from those you lead or believe that acceptance can be demanded through a title or authority alone. 

Self-awareness isn't something you acquire overnight; it's a skill that you must develop over time. It requires a willingness to face discomfort, acknowledge your shortcomings, and work through the areas that need improvement.
