I think self-awareness is powerful because nobody is good at everything, and in order to “scale yourself” you need to complement your strengths with people who have different strengths.
The biggest mistake — and I’ve seen it made by junior managers up to CEOs — is doubling down on your perceived strengths.
Our own evaluation of what we’re good at is often not completely accurate, more like “based on a true story.” After all, we’re all the protagonists in the drama we write about our lives.
