Consider your leadership approach and the results your people achieve
Typical responses to these questions examine what more you can do. This is natural if you’re inherently task-orientated. I challenge you to look deeper.
A deeper, more insightful question is :
Your leadership effectiveness depends on more than just actions—it’s rooted in self-leadership. Without it, earning true buy-in from your team becomes an uphill battle.
People don’t just follow strategies; they follow you. If they’re not buying into your vision, ask yourself:
The practice of intentionally influencing your own thinking, behavior, and emotions to achieve personal and professional goals
It’s about taking responsibility for your development, consistently holding yourself accountable, and setting a personal example that aligns with your values and vision.
Self-leadership is not about being perfect.
Rather it is about continually striving to lead yourself by being someone others want to follow.
Leadership isn’t just about skills—it’s about integrity, authenticity, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness. Mastering these traits elevates both your impact and your influence.
When you think about your leadership approach, are you focused on what you should do — or who you should be? Is is possible you’ve skipped a critical step in your leadership development?
Integrity, authenticity, emotional intelligence, empathy, vulnerability are all valuable components of BEING an effective leader.
– James Allen
Self-leadership means taking responsibility for your growth, aligning actions with values, and setting the example others want to follow.
To have the ability to influence the actions of the people you lead, you must become a person they can BUY
As you develop your Self Leadership through being, there is so much more you can DO.
