How we lead ourselves in life impacts how we lead those around us. - Michael Hyatt, Living Forward: A Proven Plan to Stop Drifting and Get the Life You Want

First be a leader of yourself. Only then can you grow to lead others. - David Taylor-Klaus

Last week, the author talked about how self-leadership is holding oneself accountable to a higher standard. Why is that important?

How we lead ourselves will reflect in everything we do. When we take the initiative on a new project, ask questions or help someone else, people see that and remember those individuals that stepped up when others did not.

Recently, the author was talking with a group of people. During the conversation, the author was asked to take on a new responsibility. They told her she was asked to take on this responsibility because they saw how she had worked with other people, created metrics and worked extremely hard on the various projects she had done.

Great leadership isn’t just about leading others. Great leadership starts with self-leadership. —Craig Groeschel

When we lead ourselves with excellence, people are watching what we do and it can lead us to new opportunities including leading others.

ACTION: How has your self-leadership helped you in your personal and professional life?
