[ Known ]

Knowing our work preferences (ie,  working with people or working with data/documents) helps with our leadership aspirations.  Do we want to excel at people leadership, or technical leadership?  Both are an important part of most jobs, of course.

Knowing yourself (self-awareness) is knowledge worth exploring.  It means asking questions of yourself often, and being honest about what you like to do, and knowing what work brings satisfaction and contentment.

Similarly, knowing what you are known for, is also important.  Are you known for being principled, tardy, or explosive? Negative, positive, or get-it-done?  Pay attention to what you’re known for, too.
