Self-leadership

Self-leadership is the primary foundation for leadership success for any individual but most especially for anyone aspiring to lead a team or organization.    Self-leadership is  a self-influencing process that enables an individual to set performance objectives with determined motivation and force.  

Self-leadership requires that you take control of your thoughts and your development as a person towards achieving your life goals, mission and purpose.  Put differently, self-leadership is taking ownership of your life. How do you influence your thoughts and take control of your actions to achieve your goals?  Self-leadership begins with self-awareness.  Self-awareness has become a cliché in recent times, yet it is fundamental to effective leadership and realizing one’s full potential.

You need to know who you are, the lens through which you process information, see the world and make sense of it.  Self-leadership like self-awareness is a journey not a destination.  As we evolve, encounter obstacles and victories, our responses and reactions reveal things about us therefore constantly evaluating how our traits, beliefs and values have informed these situations and circumstances are critical to why, who and what we become. 

Self-leadership does not imply no failures, it means understanding how to empower yourself if you encounter one and move on with greater determination and motivation.
