I would like to elaborate my thoughts on this .<\/p>\n<p>I agree that self awareness can sometimes take a back seat , especially when we are very invested in an issue. Sometimes our own emotions or past experiences might come in the way of being objective about an issue . I struggle with this too sometimes, though I wouldn&#8217;t put this on the top of the qualities that I think are most important to being a good leader. What I have found helpful sometimes is putting\u00a0my in the other person\u2019s shoes\u00a0 .\u00a0 Another strategy that\u00a0I have found effective is\u00a0just taking a pause \u2013 I call a \u2018 time out \u2018 and reflect . This helps in avoiding making any impulsive decisions or comments .\u00a0 I do state here that I do not have any data or literature to support my arguments\u00a0, these are anecdotal experiences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the third of my late responses to Unit 1 activities !<\/p>\n<p>I am responding to nocontest&#8217;s question &#8211; &#8221; How do you practice increasing your awareness in situations where time is limited, and emotions may be higher than normal? &#8220;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":147,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[12,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-69","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ldrs500","category-unit-1","post-preview"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9i0gL-17","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/icandothis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/icandothis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/icandothis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/icandothis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/147"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/icandothis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/icandothis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":72,"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/icandothis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69\/revisions\/72"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/icandothis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/icandothis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/create.twu.ca\/icandothis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
