Be self-aware. This is one of the most important parts of being a leader. Understand how others see you and what their perception of you is. “Perception is reality” is true – it doesn’t ultimately matter if you think of yourself as fill in the blank person if nobody else around you thinks that. Get a mentor that’s close to you but more seasoned and solicit their feedback/advice and take it to heart. Listen to that feedback and take your personal feelings out of the equation. At one point in my career with Vi several years ago, I discovered that others’ perception of me in one particular area was quite different from how I saw myself. Once I got past the shock I realized that I had to fix it – and I made a shift in how I interacted and collaborated with others by making a simple tweak that my mentor suggested. And it worked. Being stubborn or resistant to feedback because YOU don’t believe it’s true will only hurt your own growth and personal development. xo Mrs. Mojo
