Building a Servant Leader: Self-Awareness As we embark on our next Leadership Academy with Physician Life Care Planning, we have started building our model of a servant leader. Within this, we have a set of core elements, that we call "Bullseye" words. We articulate the importance of each, where they emanate from (our thinking, our feelings, our actions), and then clearly define what they mean to us as a leader. Self-Awareness is a critical trait (capability, value, principle) that we all need. We must be both internally and externally self-aware; understanding ourselves, but also being open to growth from recognizing others' perception of ourselves. If growth starts with curiosity to learn, then being aware of where I am in the learning phase of that "thing" is the critical next step. Honesty with ourselves in who we are, and what we know, is paramount to growth. Next week we'll discuss the third Bullseye word as we outline the model.
