PART A
INTRODUCTION
Self-awareness is the ability that focuses on ourselves. Self-awareness is given people
thought, emotion, and action which don't align with social standards. Highly self-awareness
people can objectively self-evaluate and manage their own emotions (Bush, (2020)). Self-
awareness is a line of behaviour with own values. Self-aware people can't adjust to their
circumstances as they make their path and achieve their targets in difficult situations. Self-
aware people are mentally stable they know what they are doing and what the result comes
from the work. They can't rely on others and focus on themselves. This report discusses self-
awareness and the role of self-awareness in career success.
MAIN BODY
A definition of self-awareness and why it is important to the development of leadership
and/or management capability
Those peoples are highly self-aware they can interpret their actions and feelings
objectively. It is the skills that develop people many people spiral into emotion they can't
interpret their feelings in front of every person they follow other people. Self-aware is
important because it allowed them to assess their growth. Self-awareness is of two types.
Public self-awareness- when people appear in front of others and think about how
people think about themselves. Public awareness peoples follow social norms and behave in a
socially acceptable (Adams, (2018)). Self-awareness gives a benefit also dangerous because it
taps into self-consciousness. Those people who are high in public self-awareness spend much
time in wearing about what other people think of them.
Private self-awareness is the internal state which means it is an introspective
approach. People think about their self their feelings, reaction, and curiosity belong to their
work. When people are internally tensed it will show in their work their body structure and
their work is also reflected in tension.
Self-awareness helps in the greatest career success if the people know what the career
are and they are self-aware about the career so they achieve their target. These people are
making their road map for achieving their career goals they first make a list of
accomplishment goals which are small and large when they complete accomplishing the task

then they find the strength which is necessary for career growth. Self-aware peoples identify
on strengths and weaknesses they know what their career objectives are and what are they
need the achieving career goals (Rehman & Iqbal, (2020)). They also make up a plan for
improving qualities which need in career growth.
Identify 2-3 of the core module topics
Three core topics advise on a career increase self-awareness. These topics will help to
know the actual situation faced by people and learn more information.
Receiving and giving effective feedback
It means to listen without interrupting a person and observe information if concentrate
on listening and understanding rather than being defensive and focusing on own response.
When listening to all information then be aware of own responses the body language and
voice speak louder than their words (Bush, Bell & Middlewood, (Eds.). (2019)). Try to avoid
barriers and send a positive response. Be attentive and indicate own values and something
that say its own ease. Be open with a new idea and different opinion and understand the
message especially before giving a response don't repeat any kind of line which reduce
impact. Reflect and decide the consequences of response. Follow-up on feedback will simply
involve implementing suggestions.
Giving or receiving feedback, learning to work in a team and emotional intelligence
gives me positive factors myself. Career growth needs to become self-awareness (Bush,
(2018)). When I work in a group at that time, I learn various things from my team leader
about how they workflow in the team and reduced conflict which creates coordination among
the team member. I see feedback from the leader and I try my best to learn to respond like my
leader. I learn how to manage work in a team it gives me self-awareness of the team and also
strength which are very important for the team (Hechanova, Caringal & Magsaysay, (2018)).
Emotional intelligence is part of self-awareness because it includes 8 aspects of intelligence
that create self-awareness in the work. Emotional intelligence is very important to create
competency in work so I learn various things from emotional intelligence.
Self-awareness is focusing on positive traits along with competencies. Receiving
feedback is the most effective way to gain awareness of skills it gives strength and shows
weakness. When people give feedback according to their performance it shows weakness in
their work self-aware people take feedback positively and evaluate themselves. Giving and
receiving feedback is the part of work where self-aware people give feedback according to
