This TED talk is all about self and relates to Self
Awareness that is focused on in this reading. Sarah Jones shows many different
characters that relate to awareness of self because a leader must be able to
reflect on how they act in different situations. Her assortment of characters
helps us to think about the adaptability that a leader must have and
understanding of when they are taking on significant roles beyond their typical
persona. It also helps us to think about how a leader must be able to appeal
and inspire to an assortment of personalities in order to gain confidence and
trust within the community. Understanding how others perceive a leader helps
them to understand other people's perspectives. Sarah describes herself through a variety of
characters to demonstrate how their understanding about her. Her ability to
imitate these viewpoints reflects how well she understands her actual self. This
also brings up the idea that "self-awareness is always growing"
(Komives 2009). As she has encountered new people and interacted in various
ways, she has developed these characters as well. I believe that this shows a
great leader because she can identify through others, yet also identify her
characteristics and opinions through others' perspectives.
