Abstract
Proposes that a crucial component of the career development process is what is termed “managerial self-awareness” (MSA). To-date relatively little has been written about self-awareness, particularly in the literature on managerial career development. Specifically explores the concept of self-awareness in the context of managerial career development. The importance of self-awareness in the managerial career development processes is examined and the relationship between self-awareness and managerial success is also considered. The findings of a qualitative study conducted to investigate the effectiveness of two instruments used to enhance self-awareness are reported. One of the characteristics of effective managerial career development is the creation of self-awareness in the learner. 360-degree feedback and personality inventories are considered useful tools in this respect.
