Know Yourself … Authentically
Self-discovery is the key to unleashing your Inner Leader to the world. As shown in Figure 2.1, the first part of unleashing your Inner Leader is to know yourself … authentically. It is amazing that in all of the thousands of business professionals whom I have coached, they do not have clear answers to simple questions, such as:
- What are your top strengths?
- What do you value most?
- What is the most important impact that you make to your organization?
- What is your unique promise of value?
You can expect to discover the answers to these questions in Part One. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of completing the exercises in this part; they will give you the answers to catapult you to higher performance in Part Two. You can do them in any order, and the point is to do them all.
Go ahead; take the plunge into the pool of self-discovery. You will be one of the few leaders who really know themselves and then will be ready to unleash your leadership to the world!
