When you practice personal leadership, you lead from the inside out. Personal leadership is not just a label but a way of life. Management experts like Peter Drucker have called personal leadership "the only leadership that's going to matter in the 21st century."
We live in a time of extraordinary choice and change. It requires every one of us to take responsibility for our own lives. You may want to achieve and you've got the talent, drive and chutzpah to do it. But it's not always easy. Assuming the responsibilities of leadership creates a struggle between professional ambitions and quality of life.
‘THE INNER EDGE’, which has been used as a valuable resource, expresses the ten essential components of leading and living well to help you foster a deep awareness of what it means to be a leader in challenging times.
The ten practices of personal leadership are:
1. Get clarity. Find what it is you want and the strategies that compliment your signature strengths that most effectively will get you there.
2. Find focus. Define focus areas and isolate practices to help you achieve your goals.
3. Take action. Create an action plan through a two-part process.
4. Tap into your brilliance. How to find and lead with your personal strengths.
5. Feel Fulfilment. Discover what motivates you and makes you happy.
6. Maximise your time. Customisable techniques to help you achieve more with less.
7. Build your team. Surround yourself with people who can advise, champion, advance and elevate you.
8. Keep learning. Redefine the process of learning and create a practice of expansion.
9. See possibility. Making it happen versus letting it happen, listening to your intuition.
10. All at once. Practices to align a work-life balance that allows you to continue to excel.
