Self-Leadership: The Key to Building Resilient Relationships
As your ability to self-manage is the most important skill set that you need, employers should support the learning of practical intrapersonal skills.
Life is abundant with setbacks and rejections.
Coping with these challenges is undeniably difficult, yet it constitutes a crucial skill to master for those aspiring to achieve success and flourish.
Only when you are thoroughly prepared to overcome setbacks in your mind, you can deal with your inner reactivity that leads to high stress levels.
Most entrepreneurs know that while on the path to inventing and delivering something to market, you are going to experience frequent rejection.
When you maintain excellent self-leadership based on awareness-based intrapersonal skills , then the rejections and setbacks are not going to affect you. Instead, you use failures and rejections as something you can learn from.
You need to educate and support your team so that they too can tolerate rejections and failures and learn from them. This requires an open mindset and good communication.
Listen to people and support them
People are every business's most valuable resource. Without people, there is no business, service or solutions.
Yes, the hyped AI can support us as humans, but it is unconscious and often lacks ethical regulation. We see that AI can't never fully replace people . Especially, people who are creative and insightful.
At least the AI can't replace creative people who take initiative and are capable of observing and dare to use their intuition and then act consciously to make things better from a human standpoint.
As the world changes, employers should think about what employees need at that moment and how to support them.
Stakeholders involvement in decision-making processes is important - often, it may not even matter to the individual what they have a say in; what's important is simply the opportunity to have a say in the organization's functioning.
Be open-minded and learn skills that support you
When people feel their voices are heard, and their contributions are valued, a stronger emotional connection with the employer is established.
Ray Dalio recently posted "Radical open-mindedness and radical transparency are invaluable for rapid learning and effective change. Learning is the product of a continuous real-time feedback loop in which we make decisions, see their outcomes, and improve our understanding of reality as a result."
He has a valid point, learning demands focus. Focus is a learnable awareness-based intrapersonal skill. As Dalio continued: "Being radically open-minded enhances the efficiency of those feedback loops because it makes what you are doing, and why, so clear to yourself and others that there can’t be any misunderstandings. The more open-minded you are, the less likely you are to deceive yourself— and the more likely it is that others will give you honest feedback. If they are “believable” people (and it’s very important to know who is “believable”), you will learn a lot from them."
Believable people are those individuals who possess practical skills, both professional and intrapersonal skills. When those two skill sets are combined, your workplace can sustain excellent intrapersonal relations. Both within your team and with the customers you provide service to.

1 年Absolutely agree! Self-management and intrapersonal skills are critical for navigating setbacks and rejections. Encouraging a supportive environment where employees can learn and grow from challenges is essential. People are the heart of any business, and their creativity and insights are invaluable. Empowering employees and involving them in decision-making can significantly contribute to a positive workplace culture and overall success.

1 年1. "People are every business's most valuable resource. Without people, there is no business, service or solutions." - so true. 2. "When people feel their voices are heard, and their contributions are valued, a stronger emotional connection with the employer is established." - also so true. I personally think AI will enable more of 2 (by doing the heavy-lifting enabling people to be more creative and less stressful-process-driven). This in turn will enable businesses to realise more of 1.
