Develop The 7 Top Qualities Of Self-Leadership

by Annette Maree Stanton

Self-Direction

Leaders all have the developed trait of self-direction. They have created a game plan for their life. They set goals based on their values and consistently work towards them until they are achieved. Identify what your self-direction is and create a plan on how to achieve it.

Self-Management

Leaders ‘make’ it happen. Setting up systems in your personal and professional life to support you in achieving your goals. Self-Management gives you energy and determination in making things happen. Learn ways to manage yourself, especially when challenges arise.

Self-Awareness

Leaders display a positive self-awareness. They know themselves very well—their strengths and weaknesses. They are more tuned into others around them and intuitively tune-on much quicker than others around. Develop ways to become more aware in the hustle and bustle of everyday activities.

Self-Discipline

Leaders practice self-discipline. You will never get to where you want to go in life if you do not have self-discipline. Identify what’s holding you back from being self-disciplined and how to break through the blockages of moving forward.

Self-Image

Leaders see themselves as winners—they act like winners. They use images with pictures, feelings and words the roles they want to play. What you see for yourself is what you attract and what you feel within yourself is who you are. Identify how you see yourself and how you truly feel about yourself. Develop ways to create the leadership self-image.

Self-Confidence

Leaders have developed a strong self-confidence—they weren’t necessarily born with these good feelings. With practice they have learnt to like themselves and deep down inside they have a feeling of their own worth. Positive self-talk is the key to positive self-confidence. Become conscious about what your self-talk is saying to you all day, everyday and how you can develop your self-confidence.

Self-Expectancy

Leaders have a positive self-expectancy enabling them to be better prepared for opportunities. Be aware of what you expect in life because you will always attract what you expect. Develop ways to manage and prepare yourself through self-expectancy.
