“The leaders with no self-awareness, in my personal experience, have created toxic working environments, unhealthy staffs, and it is apparent that they themselves are unhealthy people. I have had self-aware leaders model humble and servant leadership, and those who are not self-aware model narcissism. Narcissists may find some success, but as soon as they leave, the mess they leave is revealed. I’ve seen it time and time again. Those who model self-aware leadership, their success has staying power because it’s never about them.”
