Why Self-Leadership matters

It’s easy to assume we know ourselves well – but research shows that only 10% of people are truly self-aware. We’re complex beings, shaped by experiences, beliefs, and habits, yet we rarely take time to step back and understand ourselves fully.

Without strong Self-Leadership, it’s like sailing without a rudder – you may be moving, but you’re not in control of the direction. Effective Self-Leadership provides the foundation to:

  • Navigate life’s challenges with confidence.
  • Achieve success without sacrificing wellbeing.
  • Align your goals and actions with what matters most.

By strengthening Self-Leadership, you create the clarity, confidence, and resilience needed to thrive, both personally and professionally.

Reflect on your Self-Leadership

Take a moment to reflect on you – and those around you:

  • On a scale of 1 to 10, how strong is my Self-Leadership?
  • What criteria am I using to assess this? Could I be overrating or underrating myself?
  • How strong is the Self-Leadership of my stakeholders – the people I rely on or work with?
  • What would change in my life, work, or relationships if I – or my stakeholders –strengthened our Self-Leadership?

These questions aren’t about judgement – they’re about growth. By reflecting with kindness and curiosity, you’ll uncover the opportunities to build stronger foundations, create positive change, and thrive in your roles.
