2021-04-1142 minSuits and SandalsE#10 - Why Is Self-Leadership Important?Most people are comfortable with defining leadership as the process by which we direct, guide and influence the behavior and work of others towards accomplishment of specific goals. However, when we reflect on the term 'self-leadership', most of us fail to convert the same leading power towards ourselves.
Self-leadership is "the practice of intentionally influencing your thinking, feeling and actions towards your objective/s". (Bryant and Kazan 2012).
In this Episode, we zero-in on this concept with the sole objective of discovering the hidden gold in the the practice. Enjoy!
