Are you developing your Personal Leadership?

Before I seek to change or motivate others I must first learn to change and motivate myself. I must first become the change I wish to see in others” - Greg Thomas

Personal Leadership - the Inside-Out way of being a leader - is the cornerstone of true leadership development. Unfortunately due to the fast-paced nature of our professional and personal lives we often neglect taking the time to develop our personal leadership capabilities. How often, if ever, have you taken to time to concentrate on exploring your personal values, mission and purpose? Have you taken the time to reflect on the impact that you personally are making on the people and situations around you? If the answer is no, what are the consequences of disregarding such an important aspect of personal and professional development?


Sadly, those leaders who disregard the development of their personal leadership will lead less fulfilling and successful lives, both personally and professionally. When individuals fail to develop Self-Awareness and abandon the pursuit of developing insight and integrity, they will suffer with poor professionalism and operational performance. The effects of this slow deterioration of personal integrity, vision and insight are more often than not only fully realized after the personal and professional damage has been done. Ignoring the need for personal leadership development can have disastrous results on many areas of our lives.

Personal leadership is a challenging area to explore, but one which many leaders ignore or fail to invest in fully. Ask yourself how effective is your personal leadership? Are you a leader that values Inside-Out development as highly as career development? If not, you may not realise that the two aspects go hand in hand! Different Dynamics can help you engage with this extraordinary aspect of yourself, after all it all starts with you.....
