In the Understanding Yourself" section, it was interesting to know how similar our thoughts and anxieties are as students regarding our assignments, teachers, lectures, etc. Knowing how we all perceive our surroundings and how we are perceived helps us better understand ourselves.
Most effective leaders are those who make others around feel empowered with a heightened sense of self-esteem, as the story of Star Wars illustrates this point so vivdly. An effective leader also recongnizes his or or own strengths and weaknesses. Ironically, knowing ones weakness is considered a strength, for it helps establish boundries as to how far one can go without having gone too far. The common observation of many leaders, according to Bennis (1989) is that no one can teach you except you. Our friends, family members, counselors and peers may help us in the process, but ultimately awareness requires you to study yourself.
