Leading Self as Small Business owner

As small business owners, we are often tasked with the responsibility of leading teams and driving success for our organizations. However effective team leadership requires more than just technical skills and experience. It requires a deep understanding of self and the ability to lead self before leading others. 

This is what is referred to as "essential self-leadership." 

Essential self-leadership is about self-awareness and knowing your strengths, weaknesses, values, and drivers. 
​
When leaders clearly understand who they are and what drives them, they are better equipped to lead their teams and make decisions that align with their values and goals. This results in increased team efficiency, improved customer experiences, and overall success.

Leading oneself also involves setting boundaries, managing emotions, and regularly practicing self-care. Additionally, leading oneself requires continuous learning and development.

When leaders are committed to their personal growth, and are able to manage their emotions, they are better equipped to lead their teams and bring out the best in their employees. They are able to respond to challenges, problematic employees and navigate tough situations with excellent composure. ​

In conclusion, essential self-leadership is crucial for leading teams and driving organizational success. By understanding and leading themselves, leaders can:

• Improve decision-making,
• Increase team efficiency & performance 
• Boost job satisfaction,
• Enhance customer experience,
• Achieve organizational goals
• Create a more positive work environment for the team.
