Self-Leadership Basics

As we grow, we learn to become leaders. Being a leader is natural for some, and learned for others. No matter how we have become a leader, it is important to remember we must lead ourselves before we lead others. True effectiveness comes from embodying the leadership competencies you would like to see in others in yourself. Leading by example and modeling good behaviors is the key to creating a strong team. Take the time to motivate yourself and realize that you can do it!
