Lead yourself
Today we always talk about leadership as key competency during our work, while we can also see leadership importance in our family and life. Even though we may not be a leader in our work, while when we have good leadership, we can sometimes lead our children, our family and our friends.
While before we could lead others，I think we firstly need to lead ourselves. Today I will share with you my ideas about how to lead yourself.
1. Firstly, have deep knowing about yourself. you need to have comprehensive knowledge about yourself, your strength, weakness, character and habits, etc…, and then know who you are, where are you from and where you’d like to go? Currently various tools, such as DISC, MBTI, Color character, 360 degree, etc… can help you. You can also observe and know some of your inherent patterns, such as dealing with conflicts, new changes, collaboration, etc… All those important information about yourself will greatly impact your mindset and behaviors; then you can also adjust when needed. How well you know yourself, how well you can lead yourself.
2. Secondly, you need to know how to judge the situation and decide when to proceed or draw back. It’s quite difficult for many aggressive people to follow others and give up their own ideas. However, many times, especially when we just graduate or quite junior, you need to listen to others carefully and think further to decide whether you shall follow. Of course, you also need to say yes for new opportunity or even sometimes it’s not a ready opportunity for you while you can have the courage to ask for a try.
3. Third, mange your emotion and health. Nowadays given the technology development, speed for everything is expediting quite a lot than before and people are more easily getting emotional and irritated. We can see a lot of emotional people at home and work. However, if you always behave angry, irritated and complaining, your families and colleagues will feel quite frustrated to deal with your dynamic emotion. You won’t be granted for new opportunity. Remember that only adults are needed in the workplace. Health is always the baseline, no matter how capable you’re, while you cannot manage your health well. You have to take sick leave from time to time and cannot work as needed, it will become a concern for further development.
In summary, to lead yourself, we need to focus on below things:
1.Know well about yourself 2. Judge the situation and know whether to proceed or drawback 3. Manage your emotion and health
