TASK
Importance of continuous self-development and self-awareness in becoming successful leader and manager
Importance of self-awareness
As per the view of Silvestro and et.al., (2017) Self-awareness is the skill that helps in knowing more
about own self and identify own capabilities. Self-awareness is the approach that aids person in
recognising individual emotions, believes, strengths and weakness. This method gives benefit to a person
ibn understanding own self as separate entity. In the recent era there is need to have proper knowledge
about capabilities of person and lacking areas as well so that person can take right action on right time to
meet the future career goal. This technique makes an individual able to understand own personality and
also supports in knowing more about other’s perceptions. This not only help in understanding own self but
also assists in changing thoughts and making right efforts to control over unwanted emotions.
Wales, Sidebotham and Hawley, (2019) stated that This is essential for me to have a great self-
awareness skill if I want to become a great manager or leader in near future. Self-awareness improves
emotional intelligence capability of an individual. By using this approach person can understand any
problem in great manner and can gives the right response in every situation. Managers and leaders are
more responsible persons in organisation, they have to face many problems at workplace. There is need to
have great emotional capabilities so that manager can handle situation well without hurting any employee.
Hence If a person wants to become a great manager and leader then there is need to have self-awareness
skill. This approach is also beneficial in giving correct direction to each effort.
According to Ardelt and Grunwald, (2018) As if person is aware with own strength and lacking areas then
individual can utilise this thing in great manner. Knowing about own weakness helps in figure outing the
situation well and utilising the strengths in best possible manner. If a manager is well aware with own
weakness, then individual can control over their actions so that no negative things take place. This is
beneficial in keeping away from taking disastrous decisions. I want to become a great leader in my career,
if I am well aware with my positive and negative points then I can work to improve my lacking areas and
can utilise my strength in great manner (5 Reasons Self-Development is Key to Your Success, 2015). This is
the way through which I can evaluate a situation very well and can make the right decision in every critical
situation. By this way I can perform well as manager and leader in the organisation.

As per the view of Mirvis, (2019) Self-awareness is helpful in creating new ideas and understanding
personality of others as well. By this way manager can manage different people in organisation in effective
manner. This method or process gives desired results because person can develop own self through self-
actualisation. This is better to meet the own career objective in effective manner. Hence great self-
awareness skills are great to become a successful manager and leader. This skill gives new path to a person
because it aids in analysing future challenges that might occur and turning threats into opportunities. This
self-awareness process always gives opportunities of self-development which can make a person great
leader and manager.
Importance of continuous self-development
As per the view of Porter, (2017) Development of person or self is the process in which individual
makes efforts to improve the lacking areas and to become more potential person for the organisation. Self-
development develops capability of person to realise dreams and take the right action. An individual can
understands own self in better manner rather than others. If a person knows about own lacking areas then
person can take immediate action to improve it. Continuous efforts for self-development enhances
capabilities of manager which make them more reliable person in the firm. This process is helpful for the
individual to become a great leader and manager.
According to Peesel and et.al., (2019) self-continuous development gives clarity in vision and show
the clear path to gain success in the career. It is also beneficial in sharpens the existing skills so that person
can do well as manager. This is the tool which reflects past of an individual and direct the way through
which person can minimise mistakes and can take the profitable decisions for an organisation. This
approach can make a normal person a great manager.
According to George and et.al., (2019) self-continuous development is the process of encouraging
strength of own self which helps an individual to get the best position in organisation. If a manager is able
to utilise their capabilities and control over the lacking areas, then individual can prove oneself as a great
manager and leader in near future. A manager must be professional and must have knowledge about all the
working activities. This is only possible when individual work on own self continuously and develops own
capabilities. Continuous self-development tool works as motivational technique which gives new ideas to
person and enhance their capabilities so that person can handle difficulties effectively and can take the
appropriate decisions in the business unit. Every person has some good aspects and some bad aspects, there
is need to understand how an individual can manage good and bad things in proper manner and can change
their behaviour. Self-development process aids people in improving their management skills and individual
becomes able to make balance between these aspects.
Al Asmari, (2016) stated that continuous self-development improves soft and hard skills within
person. It develops listening and empathy skills of individual. By this way individual can show empathy
towards others which help them to work as manager in effective manner and make effective coordination
