The Leadership of Self III

Dee Hock, the founder of VISA also suggested of Self-Leadership. He said, “If anyone wants to lead, he must spend 50% of his energy leading himself, 20% of his energy leading his superiors, 15% leading his peers and 15% leading his subordinates.”
Incredible, isn’t it? To lead others, he suggested that you must first pay 50% of your energy to leading yourself. This cannot be over-emphasized knowing that if you can dedicate 50% of your energy to leading yourself, you can effectively lead others with less amount of energy.
Now the question is: How do I lead Myself?

The Leadership of Self II
Translations available in: English (original) | Spanish | Dutch

Dr. John Maxwell, the World-Renowned Speaker and Writer wrote about a law called the Law of the Lid where he explains that one’s personal effectiveness is determined by the level of one’s leadership. In another word, he was saying that a man’s effectiveness in life is determined by his level of influence, first on himself and then on others.
You might want to ask: What do you mean by the leadership of self? Or, What is Self-Leadership? In practice, Self-Leadership has been broadly defined as the process of influencing oneself to establish the self-direction and self-motivation needed to perform. Research across a variety of settings, from the educational domain to the airline industry, has shown that the practice of effective self-leadership by employees can lead to a plethora of benefits including improved job satisfaction, self-efficacy and mental performance.

The Leadership of Self I

Have you noticed that when the issue of leadership is raised or when we generally think of leadership, usually we think first of someone else? If we ever hope to be effective leaders of others, we must first be effective leaders of ourselves. Leading others will be much fun if we master the act of leading ourselves. Consider what a Clinical Psychologist said about Self-Leadership, He said, “There is a person with whom you spend more time than any other, a person who has more influence over you and more ability to interfere with or support your growth than anyone else. This ever-present companion is your own self.”

To be continued tomorrow (and for the rest of the week).
