A lack of self-awareness is one of the biggest challenges leaders face as they step into increasingly higher management roles.

In leadership, as in all things, there are tough realities we all have to face. We can wish it were otherwise, and we can work to make it otherwise to the extent we are able, but whatever the situation, you're never well served by ignoring what exists now.
