Short note: Self-Leadership, the missing link in Leadership
Gabriel P.

When someone becomes a Leader, they become the leading part of their team and they can achieve great things with them, if driven properly.
But what happens if you’re a one-player team / a loner – can you still be the leader of yourself?
Sure, you can… that is where Self-Leadership becomes so handy. Self-Leadership is the first stage of Leadership, the missing link so many people forget about.
No matter if you’re a top-level executive or a simple employee, Self-Leadership should be your ability to consciously influence yourself, by arranging your own thoughts, behavior to achieve your goals and desires.
"Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other", John F. Kennedy
Self-Leadership will help with proactivity, discipline and decision making, making you a better and more focused worker at any level within your workplace. It will help you manage tough situations and overcome many challenges. You just need to be Self-Aware and Self-Managed.
Learn as much as possible so you can teach as many as possible - the true value of Leadership.
So how can you become a great leader of people? Be your own leader and then lead others to success!
