Self-Leadership
Self-leadership
is the foundation of all leadership and management. It’s an enabling process
whereby a person learns more about himself/herself. Through this
self-understanding a person leads a better life. In self-leadership emotional intelligence
is the most important thing. Emotional Intelligence is already acquired by a
person while his/her upbringing. This time in Anil’s sir session I could
understand my inner self more nicely. In order to be an inspired leader I need
to first master my own emotions and understand my-self.
Interpersonal
emotional intelligence has 2 dimensions: first to listen and understand and
second to relate and build trust. Deep listening to others is one of the major
attribute of self-leadership. By deep listening, thoroughly hearing the tone
and language, observing the expression of others gives us a better insight of
their perspective. I understood that in order to convey our feelings nicely it
is very important to articulate our thoughts effectively. We also face biases
in our mind and this tends to impact our listening. But respecting others while
they are speaking and listening to them always helps in understanding them
more.
We
were then asked to talk among our group about the person who has inspired and
influenced us the most. Through that activity we came up with the common attributes
that inspired leaders have in them. By doing this activity I realized that I have
acquired most of the qualities of the same person whom I am inspired. I also
came to know that there are many qualities on which I have to work upon in
order to be an inspired leader.
At
last within our group we then shared the disappointments that we have in our
life. It was an amazing reflection activity. I understood that life is full of
ups and downs and every one of us has some disappointments. By this activity I could
understand my friends better and form a great bonding among each other. In this
beautiful world of almighty we all keep ourselves happy and never led our friends
know about our disappointments. We always have this mask of happiness on our
face and try to enjoy our life to the fullest. At the end I would say Anil’s
sir session has given a very deeper insight about my life and will always
follow his principles of giving joy everyday throughout my life.
