Document Summary

Lies at the heart of the ability to master oneslef, but it is not sufficient. Self-management depends first and foremost on self-awareness. Developing self-control and clarifying priorities and goals help individuals create direction in their own lives. Effectively managing time and stress make it possible for individuals to adapt to and organize their surroundings. Techniques and methods for achieving self-knowledge have long been available including group methods, meditation techniques, altered consciousness procedures, aromatherapy, assorted meassages, physical exercise regimens, etc. Erich fromm (1939) was one of the first behavioral scientists that observe the close connection between one"s self-concept and one"s feeling about others. Carl rogers (1961) proposed that self-awareness and self-acceptance are pre-requeisites for psychological health, personal growth, and the ability to know and accept others: basic human need is for self-regard. Empirical evidence exists that individuals who are more self-aware are more healthy, perform better in managerial and leadership roles and are more productive at work.
