Essays on Self-Awareness

As an introductive point, “The Four Books of Confucianism,” is a collection of philosophical works which greatly influenced Chinese civilization, both in the educational and spiritual realms, into the contemporary era. My most prominent observation after reading the book is that the most important aspect any individual ought to pursue is that of self-awareness, where the person seeks to know who they are. The whole idea of the book is to provide moral insights and guidelines into human nature, and this is primarily through the presentation of the apt manners and dispositions of life that a person is required ...

Self-awareness and Empathy. Awareness of another person is accompanied by an emotional assessment of the person, an attempt to understand things, predict changes in behavior and model their own behavior. Since this process involves at least two people, and each is an active subject, each should consider not only another person's needs and motives but also the way that person understands the needs and motives of the partner in the construction of strategies of interaction. Thus, self-awareness and empathy are the key conditions for teamwork and interpersonal communication. In this case, one needs to understand the very essence emotional ...

Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage one's emotions as well as emotions of people around you. The proponent of emotional intelligent Mr. Daniel Goleman brought about the five elements of emotional intelligent. The first element is self-awareness. This element requires one to know his feeling and how emotions and actions resulting from the feelings affect the people around him. Self-awareness is brought about by humbleness and realization of individual strengths and weaknesses. To foster self-awareness, you can keep a journal of your thoughts because your thoughts affect your emotions. Besides, you are required to take time ...

Success and achievement of the dreams and goals do not tend to come by accident, but rather as a result of great efforts and strong determination. The starting point to self-realization and personal fulfillment is by no means self-awareness, understanding of personal values, strength, and weaknesses, as well as identifying one's passions and interests in a certain professional field, on the basis of which certain goals are defined and set. Thereby considering one's life as a project and reflecting on some core issues in self-management is by far essential activity for anyone who strives to advance in one's life ...

End-of-life care refers to the provision of care to patients with incurable terminal illnesses and patients who are in a permanent vegetative state, and that type of care is one of the most commonly debated ethical issues in contemporary health care for two reasons. First, because of the development and advancement of medical techniques and technologies, physicians and nurses are now able to prolong the patients’ lives, but those interventions do not always improve the patients’ quality of life or maintain their human dignity (Cherry & Jacob, 2016). Second, the human population is aging, so the prevalence of terminal illnesses ...

In its abstract sense, the art of leadership involves creating an aspirational vision for an organization’s future. In the process, the leader serves to motivate employees and other stakeholders so as to achieve the goals and objectives set by an organization’s management.

It is, therefore, important that a leader exhibits a certain set of traits if the organization is to obtain a personality that will endear it to ...

Leadership cannot be fully exercised without self-awareness. To be conscious of oneself is to have self-knowledge and to be mindful of others. A leader who has introspection is more likely to practice social change in the society. I believe I am becoming more conscious of myself because of a series of actions that I partake from time to time. There are various ways to become more aware of oneself, and it is entirely necessary to establish it since it will lead to social change in the long run. Firstly, keeping a journal is one way of becoming self-aware; this ...

Emotional intelligence is essential for being successful. Multiple factors are involved in emotional intelligence, all of which are important to improve our individual abilities. First, self-awareness is one of these factors. Self-awareness is recognizing my mood and understanding what it gives to other people. When someone points out a fault or a personality of people who don’t have enough self-awareness, they accept it as a personal attack and begin unnecessary self-justification. On the other hand, people who have enough self-awareness can talk about their weakness and their past failures easily. The second factor of emotional intelligence would be ...

Introduction

Contemporary leadership theory is focused on the transformation of the organizational and individual view on the role of leaders in building the sustainable corporate culture and addressing change management and uncertainty in the modern corporations. While a number of frameworks are developed to evaluate and concept and find a set of factor and personal qualities, which define a great leader, the reality shows that leadership unique and the success of one or another individual as a leader depends on upon a number of intrinsic and external factors (Bennis and Thomas, 2002).

For example, people who know their emotions and understand the reason behind their anger and deal with the situation without being angry and violating the norms ...

Leadership has numerous definitions and dimensions, but I largely view it as the ability of someone to influence other people to willfully and passionately to follow a certain course and achieve some specific objectives. There are several lessons in leadership that can influence me to become a better leader in my professional life. I learned that leaders are not born, but we do make them. To become a good leader, people need to improve themselves and become the best by increasing their ability to be the “best self” (George and Sims, 2010). In this regard, I looked at myself ...

The historical perspectives on social work incorporate the idea that it could simply be reduced to common sense of experienced mothers, but the modern understanding of social work moves it far beyond this narrow interpretation. Nowadays, “social workers constantly try to make a positive difference to service users’ lives and support community members in a variety of ways” (Stepney & Ford, 2000, p.xiii). In this process, a balanced combination of theory and practice is required, while practice standards used to protect the individuals in society and enhance social justice are based on the solid body of theoretical perspectives, frameworks and ...

According to me, a leader is one who inspires others through his actions. The actions of leaders are always inspired by self-awareness. Leaders have certain impeccable characters that distinguish them from ordinary individuals. In other words, leaders are principle-centered that makes them stick on to certain cherished values, regardless of the challenges they encounter from time to time (Covey, 1991). No wonder, leaders who allow their actions to speak rather than their words motivate others to do what they do, which in turn creates more and more future leaders. A good leader develops a good team of employees; together, ...

Self-awareness is the most sought after quality in individuals who wish to improve their leadership skills, particularly decision making and employee-motivation skills (Tjan, 2012). In fact, self-awareness helps leaders to understand their strengths and weaknesses. In the first place, self-awareness is crucial in team-building. A person with self-awareness will turn out to be an effective leader since he can observe the strengths and weaknesses of his team members and deploy them accordingly to achieve common organizational goals.

In the recent times, scientists in the discipline of artificial intelligence are confused which approach closely imitates the structure of a human brain. The best two approaches are bottom-up, or the top-down, and they comprise of both their advantages and disadvantages. The top-down approach has the capability to perform high-level tasks since it is programmed (Russell et.al 27). On the contrary, the bottom-up approach is capable of modeling the lower-level human functions such as motor control, image recognition, and learning capabilities. Each method operates perfectly where the other method is imperfect. Therefore, to establish the advantages and disadvantages of ...

It is vital for any person, particularly a manager, to understand himself. As I read through the chapter, I was very interested in how the different areas relate to each other – no one component functions alone, neither giving nor receiving influence from the other aspects of self-awareness. I can humbly state that I have experience in self-evaluation in all areas and have consciously considered my shortcomings when I recognized them. For, while I value myself as a unique and beautiful person and tell myself I value others in the same way, I sometimes find myself judging someone else. They ...

Final Summary Paper

Communication is a complex process that involves words, voice volume, and a tone, body language, the topic of discussion and the communication history between interlocutors. Communication can be called effective, when the recipient understands the message and expresses its meaning back to the sender. Interpersonal communication takes place when two, or more people, exchange their messages and have the roles of a speaker and a listener. Nevertheless, a lecture cannot be called interpersonal because only the lecturer speaks, while the audience listens. One-way communication is also a communication, which is called broadcasting. Interpersonal skills show, how effectively people get ...

The scale of Weisinger quiz has been categorized into two broad sections, i.e., interpersonal and intrapersonal ...
