Self-awareness is the starting point for leadership
3 020910 Chris Doran
•Other people do not see the world the way you do
• In order to influence them, you have to see the world through their eyes
• In order to see the world through their eyes, you need to be aware of your own blinkers
•Your blinkers/type will always be there, but if you are AWARE of them, you can take control
