If you were an Animal - what would you be? If you were to describe your own unique talent and potential - what you love to do and dream to be - what would it be. How would you draw your own Animal? Expressing your dreams and self through a Fantastic Animal can be easier and more liberating than trying to imagine it as yourself. 21 Practicing Self-Awareness The Johari Window Practicing self-awareness requires reflection. One tool determined to illustrate the process accurately is the Johari Window. Designed with four (4) quadrants, the model assigns specific ‘selves’ or personas to each quadrant: Q1 – Public Self Q2 – Private Self Q3 – Blind Self Q4 – Undiscovered Self 22 11  9/2/2024 Practicing Self-Awareness 23 Practicing Self-Awareness Quadrant Self Persona Characteristics 1 Public Open Personal attributes that are readily seen or observed by the person and others in him-/herself 2 Private Secretive Attributes that a person knows about him-/herself but is not known by others 3 Blind Naïve Attributes that a person does not know about him-/herself but is known by others 4 Undiscovered Mysterious Attributes that both a person and others do not yet know of the person and which are left for future discovery 24 12  9/2/2024 Practicing Self-Awareness The Johari Window As a friendly tool, the identity quadrants define aspects of our personality based on how our personal attributes (strengths and weaknesses) are disclosed, made known, or perceived by others. Objectively filled out, it is expected to provide a person with a holistic understanding of him-/herself. 25 Self-Regulation Self-regulation What is Self-regulation? It is a stage where awareness of certain behavior leads to self-policing action or the capacity to alter behavior. It determines how we can choose to respond, and the way we do respond, to particular situations, circumstances, events, and people. 26 13  9/2/2024 Theories of Self-Regulation Social Learning Theory (Albert Bandura, 1925- ) Focuses on learning that occurs within the social context Suggests that the environment has an effect on modeling where individuals identify an “ideal” and patterns their behaviors after them; modeling becomes successful if there is Attention Retention Motor reproduction Motivation 27 Theories of Self-Regulation Social Learning Theory (Albert Bandura, 1925- ) Theory assumes that people learn from one another such concepts as observation, imitation, and even modeling Social Learning is considered the bridge between cognitive and behaviorist theories 28 14  9/2/2024 Theories of Self-Regulation Self-Determination Theory (Edward Deci & Richard Ryan) SDT assumes that people have psychological needs that are the basis for self-motivation and personality integration Cites three (3) needs which allow optimal function and growth if they are satisfied Competence Relatedness Autonomy 29 Theories of Self-Regulation Self-Determination Theory (Edward Deci and Richard Ryan) Deci and Ryan stated that self-determination is “to endorse one’s actions at the highest level of reflection”; when we are self-determined, we “experience a sense of freedom to do what is interesting, personally important, and vitalizing” 30 15  9/2/2024 Phases of Self-Regulation 1. Forethought / Pre-action or Setting Standards and Goals Sets the stage for action and maps tasks 2. Performance Control Involves processes and the utilization of strategies to reach success 3. Self-Reflection Reflection after performance; outcomes are compared to goals set in the forethought phase 31 Aspects of Self-Regulation 1. Setting standards and goals 2. Self-observation Systematic monitoring of own performance 3. Self-judge Systematic comparison of actual performance set against goals 4. Self-reaction Personal process of evaluation that takes places during the activity 32 16  9/2/2024 Practicing Self-Regulation Methods of Self-Regulation Identifying behavior patterns Creating positive reinforcement with the use of small, possibly periodic, and reasonable rewards Consciously observing the Correction in the event that frequency or intensity of wrong behavior is demonstrated particular behavior Challenging ourselves by Challenging defeatist attitudes criticizing negative behavior and reinforcing positive ones Changing our reaction or (Can you add more?) response patterns 33 Practicing Self-Regulation When we learn to identify specific positive or negative behavior, we can go about consciously watching out for the cues, actions, or stimuli that trigger them. We can change our response patterns to stress and other triggers. We can correct ourselves consciously and challenge defeatist attitudes. 34 17  9/2/2024 Application How do self-awareness and self-regulation help me develop leadership competencies?
