Personal growth is the foundation for growing as an effective leader. We can’t confuse leadership and management either. You might be in a management position and have team members directly report to you, but that doesn’t mean you have influence with them. Leadership is influence whether you are in a management position or not.
We don’t grow without self-awareness. Understanding ourselves, how we communicate, what triggers stress and conflict, our strengths and weaknesses, all increase our self awareness.
An effective and influential leader, leads authentically making informed decisions which builds trust with their team members.
Our growth as a leader or team member is directly tied to our personal growth.
Personal development helps us:
- increases self-awareness and social awareness
- makes us more aware of our strengths and weaknesses
- make better informed decisions
- build stronger relationships
- communicate more effectively
