在领导过程中培养真正的自我意识
PJ教练指南
教练们:
你们好!
今天,受塔莎-尤里奇(Tasha Eurich)的见解启发,我们将深入探讨自我意识这一重要话题。作为教练,我们的使命不仅是引导领导者取得更大的成功,还要引导他们更深入地了解自己以及他们对他人的影响。
1.了解自我意识:
自我意识不仅仅是自省。它是指认识到我们的内在驱动力,了解他人是如何看待我们的。令人惊讶的是,真正的自我意识并不多见。研究表明,只有 10-15% 的人真正拥有这种能力。作为教练,我们的目标就是缩小这一差距。
2.自我意识的双重性质:
自我意识有两种类型:内部和外部。内部自我意识包括了解我们自己的价值观、愿望和影响。外部自我意识是指了解他人是如何看待我们的。这两者都很重要,但往往互不相关,因此独立培养这两种意识至关重要。
3.领导原型:
根据这两种类型,领导者可分为不同的原型。每种原型都提供了独特的成长机会。作为教练,我们需要确定领导者属于哪种原型,并据此调整我们的方法。
4.经验与权力的挑战:
具有讽刺意味的是,经验和权力会阻碍自我意识。随着资历的增长,领导者收到的诚实反馈往往会减少,从而导致他们对自己的能力过于自信。我们必须鼓励领导者从各种渠道寻求坦诚的反馈意见。
5.自省陷阱:
自省并不总能带来自我认识。关键在于提出正确的问题。与其问 "为什么?"导致合理化,不如鼓励领导者问 "是什么?"。这种方法有助于获得客观、可行的见解。
6.教练的实用步骤:
- 评估领导者当前的自我认知水平。
- 确定需要进一步发展的自我意识类型。
- 鼓励以 "什么?"问题为重点进行反思。
- 为领导者提供机会,让他们接受来自同侪、下属和导师的诚实反馈。
- 支持领导者将洞察力转化为个人和职业发展的可行步骤。
总结:
自我认知是一段旅程,而不是终点。作为教练,我们的职责是在这条道路上为领导者提供指导,帮助他们更清楚地认识自己和自己的影响力。通过这样做,我们可以释放他们的潜能,提高他们的创造力、决策力和领导力。
请记住,每一次教练课程都是一次加深自我认知的机会。让我们一起踏上这段变革之旅。
根据培养领导力中真正的自我意识脚本中的六个关键内容领域,为每个领域量身定制的教练问题:
1.了解自我意识:
- "回顾你过去的经历,你能否找出你的自我意识受到挑战的时刻,这对你的决策和领导风格有何影响?
2.自我意识的双重性:

3.领导原型:

4.经验和权力的挑战:
- 你的经历和权力地位对你寻求和接受反馈的意愿有什么影响?
5.自省陷阱:
- "与其问'为什么?',你可以开始问自己哪些'是什么?'的问题,从而对自己的思想、情感和行为获得更客观、更可操作的洞察力?
6. 教练的实用步骤:
- "根据我们关于自我认知的讨论,你将承诺采取哪些具体行动来加强你对自己的了解以及他人对你的看法?
这些问题旨在引发深刻反思和可操作的回答,帮助领导者深入了解自我意识的细微差别及其对个人和职业成长的影响。

Cultivating True Self-Awareness in Leadership
Greetings, coaches! Today, we’re diving into the crucial topic of self-awareness, inspired by Tasha Eurich’s insights. As coaches, it’s our mission to guide leaders not just towards greater success, but also towards a deeper understanding of themselves and their impact on others.
1. Understanding Self-Awareness:
Self-awareness goes beyond introspection. It’s about recognizing our internal drivers and understanding how others perceive us. Surprisingly, true self-awareness is rare. Research suggests that only 10-15% of people truly possess it. As coaches, our goal is to bridge this gap.
2. The Dual Nature of Self-Awareness:
There are two types of self-awareness: internal and external. Internal self-awareness involves understanding our own values, aspirations, and impacts. External self-awareness is about perceiving how others view us. Both are critical and often uncorrelated, making it vital to cultivate them independently.
3. Leadership Archetypes:
Based on these two types, leaders fall into different archetypes. Each archetype offers unique opportunities for growth. As coaches, we need to identify which archetype our leaders belong to and tailor our approach accordingly.
4. The Challenges of Experience and Power:
Ironically, experience and power can hinder self-awareness. With seniority, leaders often receive less honest feedback, leading to overconfidence in their abilities. We must encourage leaders to seek candid feedback from a diverse range of sources.
5. The Introspection Trap:
Introspection doesn’t always lead to self-awareness. The key is asking the right questions. Instead of “Why?” which leads to rationalization, encourage leaders to ask “What?” questions. This approach promotes objective, actionable insights.
6. Practical Steps for Coaches:
• Assess the leader’s current level of self-awareness.
• Identify the type of self-awareness that needs more development.
• Encourage reflection with a focus on “What?” questions.
• Facilitate opportunities for leaders to receive honest feedback from peers, subordinates, and mentors.
• Support leaders in translating insights into actionable steps for personal and professional growth.
Conclusion:
Self-awareness is a journey, not a destination. As coaches, our role is to guide leaders on this path, helping them to see themselves and their impact more clearly. By doing so, we unlock their potential for greater creativity, decision-making, and leadership effectiveness.
Remember, every coaching session is an opportunity to foster deeper self-awareness. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together.
coaching questions tailored to each of the six key content areas from the script on cultivating true self-awareness in leadership:
