In this article by Claire Hughes Johnson the subject of a candidate’s self-awareness is reviewed calling upon her 10 years as VP at Google. She explains that when someone is highly self-aware, they’re more motivated to learn because they’re honest about what they need to work on. They also relate better to their colleagues and managers. Plus, it’s a rare trait: Research shows that although 95% of people think they’re self-aware, only 10% to 15% actually are. The article is a real eye-opener and well-worth reading before your next interview as Claire Hughes Johnson explains how she checked for self-awareness, and gives tips to check your own level of self-awareness and build it.
