It Begins With You (Leading Yourself First)
You cannot give away that which you don't possess. Healthy leadership starts with you. Self-awareness can be a difficult path. Learning to hold up the mirror in front of ourselves and be brutally honest with what we see doesn’t come naturally to most people. But it’s important.
Leaders who fail to regularly and intentionally take time to better understand themselves and others are not the leaders who will bring out the best in themselves or their teams. After all, if we don’t know our own strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies under pressure, how can we expect to avoid the pitfalls that sabotage our leadership?
Learn to spot these tendencies and begin to lead yourself (& others) more effectively!
