1. What is self-awareness?
 It is the ability to mentally step outside of yourself, look at your own actions and feelings,
and form opinions (accurate and distorted) about what sort of person you are or should be.
It is the psychological equivalent of looking at your image in the mirror, and then talking
to yourself about what you see.

2. According to Johari Window, what are the four selves that represent a person? Explain the
four selves that represent a person.
1. Open/Free Area
What the person knows about him/herself and also is known by others: open area, open self, free
area, free self, or "the arena"

2. Blind Area
What the person doesn't know about him/herself, but what others know: blind area, blind self, or
"blind spot"

3. Hidden Area
What the person knows about him/herself that others do not know: hidden area, hidden self,
avoided area, avoided self, or "façade"

4. Unknown Area
What the person doesn't know about him/herself and also what others don't know: unknown area
or unknown self

3. How does self-awareness make an individual more effective?

 Self-awareness means knowing your values, personality, needs, habits, emotions,

strengths, weaknesses, etc. Moreover, self-awareness allows you to motivate yourself and
manage your stress better, helps you with your intuitive decision making, and helps you to
lead and motivate others more effectively.

4. What are human values?

 Human values are "desirable trans-situational goals, varying in importance, that serve as
guiding principles in the life of a person or other social entity" (Schwartz, 1994, p. 21). For
instance, some individuals may value freedom, a life of excitement, or a world of beauty.
5. What is the meaning of servant leadership?

 Servant leadership begins with a heart that seeks to minister to the needs of others, and
through this service, people follow. Servant leaders focus on how to help their followers
achieve established organizational goals. These leaders differ from other leaders through a
focus on the development and growth of others as a first priority versus a result or need to
attain other goals.

6. What are some examples of servant leadership?

 Examples of servant leadership can be best found in certain religious and political leaders.
Characteristics of a servant leader include active listening, empathy, healer, awareness,
 persuasion, foresight, conceptualization, stewardship, commitment to growth and
emancipation, and community building.

7. What are the principles of servant leadership?

1. Listening. Leaders are seen as those who make the decisions. Servants are seen as those who
follow the decisions of the leader. Servant-leaders seek to identify and clarify the will of the group
and/or the individual. Not only must you hear what is being said, you have to notice what’s not
being said. When techs complain, listen to their complaints and take them under
advisement. Likewise, listen to those who have complaints about your team.
2. Empathy. Servant-leaders strive to understand and empathize with others. No matter what
problems the drummer or singer might be having with one of the techs, or yourself, you can’t
dismiss the problem and move on.
3. Healing. Healing brings about transformation and integration. Greenleaf writes, in The Servant
as Leader, “There is something subtle communicated to one who is being served and led if, implicit
in the [agreement] between the servant-leader and [one being] led is the understanding that the
search for wholeness is something that they have.” In the case of healing, it might be your weekend
for working on the rotation but you might have to heal an issue that came from a problem during a
prior week, between the sound tech and the guitarist. If we really are to be brothers and sisters to
each other, we have to take on these types of responsibilities, not to mention healing the
relationships we have broken.
4. Awareness. You must be aware of the people, situations, feelings, strengths, and weaknesses of
those around you. You must be aware of all of those things about yourself. You can fail when you
ignore your own weaknesses or exploit/ignore the weaknesses of others.
5. Persuasion. This particular element offers the clearest distinction between the traditional
authoritarian leader and that of servant-leadership. Persuasion shouldn’t be viewed as a bad word,
either. Servant-leaders seek to convince others and build consensus within the group. During the
first two weeks of February, I served on Federal jury duty for a two-week stint. As the jury
foreman, during the deliberation period, I would face times when the whole group did not have the
same view on a topic. I could not decide for them. What I could do was ask questions and bring
up ideas or facts one side hadn’t considered in hopes of building a complete consensus. Consider
persuasion as the ability to open another person’s eyes to possibilities they had not considered.

8. What are the characteristics of a servant leader?

Valuing People. Servant leaders value people for who they are, not just for what they give to the
organization. Servant leaders are committed first and foremost to people—particularly, their
followers.
Humility. Servant leaders do not promote themselves; they put other people first. They are actually
humble, not humble as an act. Servant leaders know leadership is not all about them—things are
accomplished through others.
Listening. Servant leaders listen receptively and nonjudgmentally. They are willing to listen
because they truly want to learn from other people—and to understand the people they serve, they
must listen deeply. Servant leaders seek first to understand, and then to be understood. This
discernment enables the servant leader to know when their service is needed.
Trust. Servant leaders give trust to others. They willingly take this risk for the people they serve.
Servant leaders are trusted because they are authentic and dependable.
Caring. Servant leaders have people and purpose in their heart. They display a kindness and
concern for others. As the term servant leadership implies, servant leaders are here to serve, not to
be served. Servant leaders truly care for the people they serve.
1. What is self-awareness?
 According to Gardner, self-awareness is a social construct that comes from one's inner
personal self. It is the ability to mentally step outside of yourself, look at your own actions
and feelings, and form opinions (accurate and distorted) about what sort of person you are
or should be. It is the psychological equivalent of looking at your image in the mirror, and
then talking to yourself about what you see.
