Our self-concept is important because it influences how we think, feel,

and act in everyday organizational life. Understanding the self-concept is
particularly important for managers because self-knowledge helps managers
understand why they do the things they do and how their beliefs and behaviors
affect themselves, others, and the organization—for better and worse. The self-
concept is, of course, only one of many factors that affect managerial thinking,
feeling, and behavior, but it is undoubtedly one of the most powerful influences
on many important behaviors.

 WHAT IS IT

Reading: SELF CONCEPT

Imagine yourself looking into a mirror. What do you see? Do you see your
ideal self or your actual self? Your ideal self is the self that you aspire to be. It is the
one that you hope will possess characteristics similar to that of a mentor or some
other worldly figure. Your actual self, however, is the one that you actually see. It is
the self that has characteristics that you were nurtured or, in some cases, born to
have. The actual self and the ideal self are two broad categories of self-concept.
Self-concept refers to your awareness of yourself. It is the construct that negotiates
these two selves. In other words, it connotes first the identification of the ideal self as
separate from others, and second, it encompasses all the behaviors evaluated in the
actual self that you engage in to reach the ideal self. The actual self is built on self-
knowledge. Self-knowledge is derived from social interactions that provide insight
into how others react to you. The actual self is who we actually are. It is how we
think, how we feel, look, and act. The actual self can be seen by others, but because
we have no way of truly knowing how others view us, the actual self is our self-
image. The ideal self, on the other hand, is how we want to be. It is an idealized
image that we have developed over time, based on what we have learned and
experienced. The ideal self could include components of what our parents have
taught us, what we admire in others, what our society promotes, and what we think is
in our best interest.
There is negotiation that exists between the two selves which is complex
because there are numerous exchanges between the ideal and actual self. These
exchanges are exemplified in social roles that are adjusted and re-adjusted, and
are derived from outcomes of social interactions from infant to adult development.
Alignment is important. If the way that I am (the actual self) is aligned with the way
that I want to be (the ideal self), then I will feel a sense of mental well-being or peace
of mind. If the way that I am is not aligned with how I want to be, the incongruence,
or lack of alignment, will result in mental distress or anxiety. The greater the level of
incongruence between the ideal self and real self, the greater the level of resulting
distress. Personal development modules ultimate aim is greater self-knowledge that
will lead to higher alignment between these two personality domains.

There are Benefits of Self-Knowledge. Some reasons why we should

know our selves better are; Happiness - you will be happier when you
can express who you are. Expressing your desires will make it more
likely that you get what you want. Less inner conflict - when your
outside actions are in accordance with your inside feelings and values,
you will experience less inner conflict. Better decision-making - When
you know yourself, you are able to make better choices about everything,
from small decisions like which sweater you’ll buy to big decisions like
which partner you’ll spend your life with. You'll have guidelines you can
apply to solve life’s varied problems. Self-control - when you know
yourself, you understand what motivates you to resist bad habits and
develop good ones. You'll have the insight to know which values and
goals activate your willpower. Resistance to social pressure - when
you are grounded in your values and preferences, you are less likely to
say “yes” when you want to say “no.” Tolerance and understanding of
others - your awareness of your own foibles and struggles can help you
empathize with others. Vitality and pleasure - being who you truly are
helps you feel more alive and makes your experience of life richer,
larger, and more exciting.

strengths means you know what activities to engage in that will allow you
to shine.

Weaknesses are those skills and abilities that don’t come easy to
you. When you are using those skills and abilities, you might struggle.
Knowing your weaknesses allows you to understand how you can work
around them.

Strengths and weaknesses are part of being self-aware. When you

know your strengths and weaknesses, you can create a development
strategy that focuses on your specific development needs.

which is true to you?
4. What are you going to do with those strengths and weaknesses?
5. What are your ways to be able to do this?

WHAT IS IT

Reading: BUILD ON YOUR STRENGTHS AND WORK ON YOUR WEAKNESSES

Most failures emanate from weaknesses that are not recognized or probably
recognized but not given appropriate attention or remedy. This could be a weakness
in communications, personality or ability. Instead of giving up or indulging in self-pity,
take action. Go for speech lessons, get skills upgrading, attend personality
development sessions or whatever appropriate remedies to your perceived
weakness.
Instead of simply focusing on your weaknesses, recognize your own talents
and abilities, build on them, utilize them to your greatest advantage. This is where
you can build your name and popularity. Handicapped people like Jose Feliciano and
other blind singers did not brood over their physical handicap. They recognized that
they have a golden voice so they search for ways to enrich that talent and now they
have won international fame in the field of music.

Story: YOU NEED TO TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR FUTURE

There are three kinds of people in this world:

The first is the Moviegoer. This person watches the movie of their lives
admires some parts and criticizes others. Aside from that, they do nothing else. All
she says the whole day is, “I like this thing and but I don’t like that thing.” The
Moviegoer feels she has absolutely no control of their lives --- except to comment
about it. Moviegoers are the most pathetic, miserable people in the world.
The second is the Actor. This person does not only watch the movie of her
life. She actually realizes she’s the Actor – and can control a big part of her life. She
can actually make or break the movie – by how well she delivers her lines and how
she portrays her character. Actors are a happy bunch, realizing they’re the start of
the show and enjoy some level of control.

12
 But many times, they wish the movie would end in another way – but realize
that they have no say in such things.
The third is the Scriptwriter. This person does not only watch, and she
doesn’t only act, but she actually creates the entire movie from her mind. She
determines what she will say, what she will do, and how the movie will end. She
realizes she has enormous control over her life, and sees to it that the movie of her
life will turn out beautiful.
Who are you among these three people? Do you merely watch your life go
by? Or do you act out a script that you feel has been handed to you? Or do you write
the script and make your life beautiful?
By the way, the Producer of the movie is God. He tells you, “Make the movie
beautiful, and I will give you all that you need for success.”

Processing Questions:
1. When was the time that you have acted like; The moviegoer, The Actor, or The
Scriptwriter?
2. Write at least three significant experiences that you had.
3. How did you feel acting like any of those?
4. What have you realized after reading the story?

Activity II

your right hand and in each finger you are going to write a word/
phrase the steps to make your weaknesses into a strength that
will help you become an effective member of the family/
