Great leaders aren't just skilled strategists - they're deeply self-aware. In AWARE: THE POWER OF SEEING YOURSELF CLEARLY, Les Csorba, reveals how identifying blind spots and having the courage to address them can determine the success or failure of a leader and their organisation. Drawing from decades of experience as a Partner with Heidrick & Struggles, the worldwide recruiting and leadership consulting firm advising top executives and Fortune 500 corporate boards - and his time serving as Special Assistant to the President in the White House - Les shares how self-awareness, paired with bold action, separates exceptional leaders from those who fall short. Through real-world examples, exclusive interviews with some of world's top CEOs, and practical strategies, this book provides a roadmap for leaders to turn blind spots into strengths and build organizations that thrive. As Les argues, 'what you are aware of, you can control; what you are unaware of controls you.' Whether in leadership or relationships, readers will take away: Blind spots can make or break a leader - recognising them is the first step toward lasting success. Courage is key - self-awareness alone isn't enough; leaders must actively address their weaknesses. How self-awareness can turn strengths into superpowers. Organisations reflect their leaders - a self-aware leader builds a stronger, more resilient company. From the White House to the boardroom, Les reveals a behind the scenes perspective from an American Head-hunter and brings a wealth of leadership insight making this book an essential read for executives, entrepreneurs, and anyone seeking to lead with clarity, confidence, and impact.
