FROM SELF-AWARENESS TO SELF-MANAGEMENT
FROM SELF-AWARENESS TO SELF-MANAGEMENT

Summary/Abstract: In a world becoming smaller and smaller in terms of communication, having the right skills at the right time and place has turned out to be more important. While professionals have to relentlessly hone their technical expertise in order to keep up with technological changes and fierce competition, a newer type of skills have proven essential in order to make individuals, teams, and organizations work together efficiently. The article discusses the importance of developing emotional intelligence at the workplace and it looks into the concept of “self-awareness” as a prerequisite to self-management and a lead-in to the wider concept of emotional intelligence. In addition, it puts forth some sample tasks to be assigned while teaching the modules “Oral Presentations” and “Job Interviews” (as part of the seminar “English for Professional Communication”) and their expected outcome with respect to the issue of “self-awareness”.
