Self- Leadership: To Be a Great Leader Start With Yourself

Great leaders are aware of their strengths and weaknesses.  They spend time cultivating values to eventually address their blind spot. It’s common that we normally can’t see the speck in our own eyes but we can’t simply ignore that.

The beauty in life is that we all have second chance, third, fourth… as long as we’re breathing we can still rectify our errors. Leadership is a journey, an ongoing process.  We can still work on our temper, arrogance, emotions, being critical, insecure or lack of self-confidence, etc.  We can redesign our lives, change complacency to productivity and mediocrity to greatness.

If she was able to change herself, it’s even more credible for her to lead the change in her organizations.  

If you want to inspire and positively influence other people, start transforming yourself. We can’t lead if we can’t even develop ourselves. Leadership development starts from the ground up.

The “macho” culture or the image of "infallibility" are leadership from the old school. EQ is more important than IQ in inspiring people. I learned this the hard way & still learning from others. We need to be empathic, flexible & a good listener. We can show to our team that it’s ok at times to commit mistakes, cry, be sad, & get frustrated; It’s ok to be human. Leading a successful team requires a lot of interpersonal interaction that would require emotional intelligence. Campbell CEO, Douglas Conant engages with his team by wearing a pe...
