Have you ever thought about building awareness around these for not only yourself but for those you are charged with leading? Starting with awareness…how would you do that? Good news here you can create habits around each one to increase it, but the first step is to assess yourself and clear any/all blind spots.
1. Start with using a likert scale 1-5 or 1-10 and quantifying where you sit in each of these, and why.
a. Rate yourself on likert scale (5) or (10) is the highest rank
b. Then define in YOUR own words (not google)…create your definition of what this attribute means to you.
c. Then under each one create “action” steps i.e., A1, A2, A3….to identify habits, skills you will do to get better in areas you score low.
d. Hold yourself accountable.
