One key trait in becoming a successful lead is self-awareness. To become self-aware, you need people who are willing to speak into your life. You need someone who will tell you the truth. Early in my career, I was defensive. Do you like to work closely with someone who is always defensive? No one does. My boss did me a big favor when he spoke up. His advice helped my career dramatically. Be open to taking a profiling system like Gallup or DISC to better understand your personality and how you work. You have to begin by being aware that you want to be more self-aware. But you also need someone else you trust who is willing to speak truth to you.
