I was pleased to publish this piece authored by Patricia Steiner in The New England Journal of Higher Education (NEJHE) in August 2014 …

Business advisor and Northeastern University professor Patricia Steiner explores theories of self-awareness and self-deception as applied to both leaders and students. “Self-awareness theory suggests that individuals who are more cognizant of how they are perceived by others are better at incorporating information from others into their self-appraisals and, ultimately, into their behavior,” she writes. “In general, people dealing with self-awareness problems blame others around them for things that go wrong and block their awareness of their own responsibility for the problems they face, thus preventing solutions or progress.”
