Problems associated with lack of self-awareness in leaders impacting not only the individual but also organisations and societies at large explained through the short case study of Ritu. Excellent resource and an eye opener for leaders focusing self-improvement towards efficiency and effectiveness.
"Self-Awareness is essential to successful leadership because it allows us to better manage our emotional intelligence habits. If these operate on automatic, beyond our conscious reach, we are helpless to improve any damaging impact on our relationships and productivity. Cultivating self-awareness lets us access these hidden habits, opening the door to managing them better."

Surely, demogogues are fully aware but simply aiming for different goals. If being aware means knowing that you are only interested in power (MacBeth Syndrome), then there is no problem for the leader but plenty for citizens of any state he rules. The assumption that leaders are motivated towards self-improvement is uncertain at best and may limit in fact their drives (Job, for example), although provide them with many friends. Many leaders are not looking for friends! Their surbordinates are!
Hi,
Self awareness means self judgement. If a leader lacks these qualities his leadership could easily worsen into becoming a dictatorship.
Leaders who lack self-awareness tend to be unaware of how their decisions and behavior impact the people working with them. A lack of self-awareness can result in behavior that is perceived as bullying or inconsistent.
They can also be seen a ineffective. Especially, if employees have to do twice the work because the leader does not know how their decisions impact the employee or cost the organization money.
