Leadership Traits“Self awareness is a hallmark of effective managers. They know their styles, strengths, and weaknesses influence their ability to achieve their goals. Furthermore, they understand how they are perceived by others and how these perceptions affect their ability to gain support. And they have a special combination of self-confidence, humility, and adaptability.”
