Self Leadership

  • How to Become a More Successful, Efficient, and Effective Leader from the Inside Out by Andrew Bryant and Anna Kazan, Ph.D.
  • Not all human beings are self-leaders; some are better at leading themselves. Self-leadership is about constantly developing the “inner game” (mindset) and the outer game (action)
  • The inner game consists of intention, self-awareness, Self-confidence, and Self-efficacy to achieve Personal Mastery while the outer consists of influence and impact
  • In this current disruptive age, organizational learning has become the only sustainable advantage

Developing self-awareness and self-confidence

Intention (having a ‘why’) precedes any purposeful action (behavior). Actions have impact which the self-leader evaluates via feedback.

  • Self-confidence comes from knowing your capacity and strengths. Self-leadership is about being grounded and realistic about what you are good at, and what needs improving, this leads to true authenticity and humility. It is essential, to begin with ‘Why’.
