"The Korn Ferry analysis revealed companies with a higher rate of return (ROR) also employ professionals who exhibit higher levels of self-awareness. Stock performance was tracked over thirty months, during which the companies with the greater percentage of self-aware employees consistently outperformed the rest. Despite its close association with high performance, self-awareness is generally in short supply, but can be developed in leaders".
