Who is the most difficult person for you to lead? Can you guess?
It’s not complaining Karen or grouchy Gus. It’s not set-in-his-ways Sam or even forgetful Frank.
No, it’s not your spouse or even one of your children -- but you do live with this person. In fact, you get your first glimpse of them as you brush your teeth in front of the mirror each morning.
It’s YOU!
You are the most difficult person for you to lead.
Self-leadership (or self-management) is incredibly challenging -- but it is an essential habit for a leader to embrace. It’s also what we discussed on this week’s Level Up Your Legacy Podcast as we’re walking through Ryan Holiday’s book, “Ego Is the Enemy”.
We had a fantastic conversation around these points regarding self-leadership:
The core tenants of self-management / self-leadership
How to balance being a visionary leader while embracing humility
The systems a leader needs to have in place to increase self-awareness and know when they need to recalibrate
Please take 30 minutes, check it out, and be encouraged to keep up the vital work of self-management.
