Door: THE ABILITY OF THE SELF-LEADERSHIP
"To conquer the stars means to
conquer your inner self." The first step to recognize the unlimited
potential in others, is to start by your own; Since when you have
experience, you acquire the faculty of appreciation. Travel to the center
of your universe, allows you to assess your existence, correct your mistakes
and learn how to leverage your internal resources. In addition, doing so
turns you into a model of life. To tell the truth, the only way to positively
influence and manage effective change in people, is becoming a living proof of
that it can be. Remember
that only someone who knows the power of the application, has the authority to
tell you successfully how self-empowering transforms habits into the raw
material for skills.
For example; in (American)
football, only those who have crossed the end zone, can describe you with
detail the sensation produced by a touchdown. In swimming, you cannot
teach "Butterfly Stroke" if you have not mastered the arm
and leg synchronization technique before. Likewise, you cannot lead a team if
you have not previously learned to lead yourself. How could you describe
the taste of triumph, if you still don't know what biting the dust is? How
worthy would it be to speak of resilience, if you live drowning in the sea of
uncertainty and chaos? It is your example what gives unquestionable
credibility to your beautiful words.
In addition, your leadership
strategies should become a source of inspiration to make people take control of
their own intellectual, emotional and spiritual qualities. And how to
develop skills? When we transform habits into processes that are repeated
and updated, we create skills focused on a common purpose. We could sum it
up in this simple equation: process + repetition + update = skill. Let's see how it
works from my own experience, of course. I started by writing small
sentences every day, after repeating this action several
times, I added an Update: writing a complete article. This in
turn led me to start the wonderful adventure of a blog. And this is how
I'm learning the skill of writing. You can also achieve tangible results
if you decide to take the habits out of the cocoon in order to take their
flight in the area that you choose. Remember that as you go up the ladder,
it is important to enjoy the process of each step!
But how to do things when there is no
enthusiasm? Keep in mind that the brain doesn’t get wishes by itself, you
are the one who must influence it to move to the action. Let’s do an
exercise; take a deep breath and visualize yourself living your reached
objective. Now answer yourself this question: How would my
life change if I made my dreams come true? It is your
decision to continue living in a world of imaginary sighs or in a world of real-life
situations.
For this reason, if you are tired of
not knowing how to lead your team, it is time to start to lead yourself, in
order to learn to unlearn those disabling habits that prevent you from
communicating effectively with others and with yourself. From then on, you
will recognize the importance of having the members of your team participate in
the design of plans, and as a result, they trust you to engage themselves in
the implementation of the projects.
