Buckle up for another short episode where we set the stage on something that is wildly important, and will become INCREASINGLY important, for our leaders and future leaders.

Let's talk about DEVELOPMENT.  More specifically, development of self. 

If this sounds a bit "woo-woo" in concept, let's just say... keep listening and go with us on this.

As leaders of companies and business (and our own lives), we are leading OTHER HUMANS.  The term "leadership" really means that, in general, you are being followed by people who look to you to help manage them.  Managing others is not easy in itself, so where we really need to begin is figuring out how to manage OURSELVES.  

We now have scientific evidence to demonstrate that when we feel better in our own lives, we are more impactful leaders.  

People follow PEOPLE... and this is a never-ending journey as leaders.  Leadership stretches far beyond metrics and strategies.  Leadership is about helping manage human lives and beliefs.  And this business journey, this LEADERSHIP journey.... begins AND ends, with YOU.

If nothing else, take it from Dee Hock who says here:

"If you look to lead, invest at least 40% of your time managing yourself"--Dee Hock; Chief Executive & Founder of VISA

Let's change the world, by changing ourselves.
