Explanation: Emotional intelligence is the ability to control one's own and the emotions of others, and to manage them in a way that even the one who controls those emotions and the environment benefits from it.
Self-awareness, one of the elements of emotional intelligence, is a constant insight of our own feelings and emotions and how they can affect others. This implies that we are aware of our strengths and weaknesses. By using our strengths, if we are in a leadership position, we can use it as an incentive to others, while knowing our weaknesses and therefore humble behavior in such situations is also a benefit to us and the environment.
Self-awareness means recognizing what kind of feelings we feel that moment, if it is anger and at a given moment and we recognize that, we will always be able to amortize, to alleviate that feeling of anger, for the sake of general and personal benefit.
Self-awareness also means not only recognizing the feeling in us but also being honest with that feeling. For example, if the leader of a particular group or department of a company pretends to know everything and is not a case, it can cause a lot of problems. Self-awareness means to say frankly that the leader does not know something, then associates will take over some of the work and do it in the best possible way for the company. In this way, the company will profit, leader will avoid the negative consequences of his/her silence that s/he does not know something, and the associates will have more confidence in leader, they will consider him/her as their associate and colleague who works together for the benefit of the company, not some arrogant, untouchable leader.
