First Lead Yourself, Then Lead Others
We know many of you have heard us say “First Lead Yourself, Then Lead Others”. How have you interpreted this, and do you agree with the concept?
Until you fully “know” yourself, you won’t be in the position to help others become more self-aware, which is the starting point for effective leadership, sustained relationships, and growth.
For those of you that have worked with us, we utilize a sundry of assessments and tools that validate strengths, provide areas for development, enhance communication skills, while addressing how over and under uses can be detrimental. We find the results invaluable, but there are other ways to become more self-aware.
Brian Kelly, The Points Guy, provides some questions that he reflects on. Some to ask yourself include:
- One thing I try to do every day is…
- I describe my vibe as…
- I feel most alive when…
- To avoid distractions, I…
- I handle negativity by…
- One thing that is difficult for me but I enjoy is…
- When I need a creative spark, I…
- I want people to know me for…
- I define success as…
How easy were these questions to answer? Did any require a few extra seconds to think about? Did you learn anything new?
A commitment for self-awareness and continual learning Starts With You!
Sincerely,
Mike and Jan
