Document Summary

Self-management depends first and foremost on self-awareness, other self-management skills are closely linked to and build upon self-awareness. Developing self-control, for example, and clarifying priorities and goals, help individuals create direction in their own lives. Self-awareness, self-insight, self-understanding- is essential to ones productive personal and interpersonal functioning, and in understanding and empathizing with other people. Erich fromm (1939) was the first behavioral scientist to observe the close connection (cid:271)etween one"s self-(cid:272)on(cid:272)ept and one"s feeling a(cid:271)out others. Hatred against oneself is inseperable from hatred against others. Carl rogers proposed that self-awareness and self-acceptace are prerequisites for psychloical health, personal growth, and the ability to know and accept others. We cannot improve ourselves or develop new capabilities unless and until we know what level of capability we currently possess. Empirical evidence exists that individuals who are more self-aware are more healthy, perform better in managerial ad leadership roles, and are more productive at woek.
