Learn how to develop self-awareness and use it to become more fulfilled, confident, and successful.Most people feel like they know themselves pretty well. But what if you could know yourself just a little bit better-and with this small improvement, get a big payoff…not just in your career, but in your life?
Research shows that self-awareness-knowing who we are and how others see us-is the foundation for high performance, smart choices, and lasting relationships. There's just one problem: most people don't see themselves quite as clearly as they could.
Fortunately, reveals organizational psychologist Tasha Eurich, self-awareness is a surprisingly developable skill. Integrating hundreds of studies with her own research and work in the Fortune 500 world, she shows us what it really takes to better understand ourselves on the inside-and how to get others to tell us the honest truth about how we come across.
Through stories of people who have made dramatic gains in self-awareness, she offers surprising secrets, techniques and strategies to help you do the same-and how to use this insight to be more fulfilled, confident, and successful in life and in work.

1The Meta-Skill of the Twenty-First Century
The men burst in with urgent news to report. A party of 35 enemy scouts had been spotted roughly seven miles away, camped out in a rocky ravine. What would the young lieutenant colonel decide to do?
The pressure was on, and he knew it. After all, this was a time of war, and he alone was responsible for the 159 recruits he d led into the field. Despite the fact that the colonel was a 22-year-old rookie with zero combat experience, he d somehow found himself second in command of an entire army. Not only did he have to act quickly and decisively, he needed to prove himself to everyone who was watching. This would be a crucial test of his military prowess, but he had no doubt he would ace it. The supremely self-assured young man was just itching to show his superiors what he was made of.
Those men in the ravine? They were clearly planning to attack, he confidently (and, as it turned out, inaccurately) concluded. So the colonel ordered a sneak assault. In the early hours of May 28, his troops descended on the unsuspecting party, who didn t stand a chance. In less than 15 minutes, 13 enemy soldiers were dead and 21 were captured.
Brimming with pride over his victory, the colonel returned to camp and began firing off letters. The first was to his commander. But before even recounting news of the battle, the emboldened leader took the opportunity in the form of an eight-paragraph diatribe to grouse about his pay. His next letter was to his younger brother, to whom he nonchalantly bragged about his fearlessness in the face of enemy attack: I can with truth assure you, he wrote, I heard the bullets whistle and believe me there was something charming in the sound.
His self-congratulatory correspondences completed, it was time to plan his next move. Convinced that the enemy was about to launch a revenge attack, he realized he would need to find a better location for their camp. After crossing a nearby

mountain range, the colonel and his men found themselves in a large, low-lying alpine meadow. The grassland was surrounded on all sides by rolling hills dotted with bushes and a dense pine forest. Surveying the area, the colonel declared it the perfect defensive location and ordered his troops to begin preparations.
A few days later, he looked on proudly as his men put the finishing touches on their circular stockade, which consisted of scores of upright seven-foot logs draped with animal skins. And because it could hold only 70 men at once, he d ordered them to dig a three-foot trench for everyone else to crouch in. The colonel thought it was marvelous, assuring his commander that we have with nature s assistance made a good entrenchment and by clearing the bushes out of these meadows prepared a charming field for an encounter. He knew they d be outmanned, but even with my small numbers, he reported, I shall not fear the attack of 500 men.
Unfortunately, not everyone agreed with the confident young leader. One of his many questionable decisions was the placement of the fort. Because it was built on such soft ground, a light shower of rain would turn the meadow into a swamp, and a downpour would flood the trenches and drench their ammunition. What s more, they were so close to the woods just 60 yards away that enemy marksmen could sneak up undetected and effortlessly fire on their fortress at close range. As for the fort itself, the colonel s allied commander a seasoned battle veteran insisted that that little thing upon the meadow simply would not hold.
Undeterred and convinced that he knew best, the colonel dismissed these arguments out of hand, furiously proclaiming the commander and

Think of the most cluelessly unselfaware person you know: your boss, annoying neighbor, brother-in-law. How can we avoid being that person? And teach our kids to avoid being that person as well?

You'll benefit from knowing what they know. Buy a copy for yourself and buy another to leave, anonymously, on your boss's desk. - Chip Heath, coauthor, New York Times bestsellers Switch and Decisive
