More About Awareness of Others

The ability to be aware of the emotional state of others is all about taking stock of those around us. When we take notice of others, acknowledge them, and make them feel valued, we’re exercising this competency.

Leaders who are especially aware of those around them are able to adjust their leadership style accordingly and tend to be described as empathetic to their colleagues, rather than insensitive to others and their feelings.

Awareness of others is essential to effective leadership because:

• Leadership is fundamentally about facilitating performance, and the way others feel is directly linked to the way the perform
• Awareness of others is necessary in order to take effective steps to influence and facilitate others’ performance
• To encourage optimal performance, leaders need to adjust their leadership style so that it best fits with the people and situations they are leading.
