Hi everyone, this is William Davis, and this is today's Leadership Minute. Everything in leadership starts with the mirror. If you can't understand and sense what's happening within yourself, you can't hope to regulate your impact that you have on others, particularly your team. You see, self-awareness is that ability to recognize a feeling as it happens. And why it happens. Why does this matter for your team? It's because you as a leader who lacks self-awareness creates a ripple effect of anxiety throughout the whole organization. When you understand your triggers, you stop reacting and you start responding. And that is great for your team. This is William Davis, and this has been today's Leadership Minute.
