Abstract

Self-awareness is the ability to identify your feelings, behaviours, and characteristics to be able to comprehend your cognitive, physical, and emotional self. It makes you understand that you are yourself, which is different from others. Being aware of yourself includes taking notice of your actions, thoughts, senses, and feelings (study.com, 2023). This means having a clear perspective on your personality, which does not comfort but disturbs and disrupts (Sparks, 2023). By understanding yourself you gain full control over your life and fully live in the present moment (Barayeva, 2023). But thinking about yourself isn´t knowing yourself (Eurich, 2023). You must go through the deep end to face your own shadow to gain personal transformation (Sparks, 2023).

Self-awareness is also a crucial aspect when it comes to project management. It helps the project participants, especially the project manager, understand their strengths and weaknesses. Understanding yourself can contribute to a more successful and effective project delivery, as well as to a more fulfilling and satisfying work experience. As for a project manager, it helps to understand their impact on others and adjust their leadership style as needed (Waters, 2014). It also helps project managers better understand their own biases and blind spots to build a more inclusive and diverse project team and make fair and equitable decisions (Mitchell, 2020).

By investing time and effort into developing self-awareness a person can expect to see benefits in their own personal and professional development, as well as in the success of the projects they manage.
