Self-awareness is an acquired skill. It depends primarily on personal honesty, effort, and a willingness to make ongoing, small self-corrections. This type of humility will drastically improve your interactions. Without self-awareness, it’s impossible to improve yourself because you don’t know where you are.

Self-management is a pattern of personal and professional success. All meaningful long-term goals require self-management in order to sustain effort and overcome challenges along the way. Self-management allows you to preserve and strengthen relationships in the midst of stress and succeed in a crisis situation without harming others.

Social awareness allows you to interpret human dynamics accurately and respond constructively. People with high social awareness have the skills to build and sustain strong relationships and collaborate with others effectively. They have a greater appreciation for others and their contributions, and have a higher tendency towards inclusivity.
