More on Leadership and the self

It is never too early and never too late to lead.

Leadership of the One Is More About Leadership Presence

Eventually, when you are trusted with a position of authority, the authentic test of leadership will be at the forefront.
When others look to you for direction and guidance, there will be no place to hide, no room for doubt and no time for experimenting.
 Professional golfers treat every practice putt like the one they need to win the tournament. Likewise, we must practice leadership at all times —and as early and as often as possible.

Leadership of the one is more about leadership presence: It is an attitude we practice in every role we are engaged in, in every business decision that comes in front of us, whether we are the ones making the decision or not—a luxury we will not have when we are in the driver’s seat.

I believe strongly that leading the one (self) is as important as leading many, because all our journeys start there.
