Self Leadership
There are 6 layers of consciousness which helps in channelizing our thought and making decisions. The inner most layer is I which is our pure consciousness. All the energy to perform or to complete a task comes from this I. this is our inner voice which keeps on helping us to take a decision or tells us how to react in a situation. Then comes ego, just feeds you habits and make these habits a part of your life. Ego does not let you change your habits. Even after knowing to ourselves that we need to change Ego would not let us change our habits. Ego layer is followed by the layer of intellect, which is the pillar of ethics. Intellect is basically I know it. The gap of knowing doing is bridged by this layer. At this level the person not only has understanding about a subject/situation but also knows the subject/situation fluently and can take a valid action. There after comes the Emotional layer in India this is the mind and in foreign it is the heart. This is the layer where one connects with the other. If I am emotionally attached to my mother I would surely listen to her advice/suggestion and would implement it. I would feel/ regard her a lot. This connection can be inspirational and can take you to a different height or on the contrary can be very dangerous also if not used in a proper manner. this layer shows different moods of an individual such as anger, attachment, envy etc. Emotional layer is also a pillar of compassion. Next comes the layer of instinct. The instincts can be from your past lives. These instincts are the first reaction to the situation which is not always right thus one should always take their time and then respond to a situation this gives you knowledge , information, understanding but how do you use this information makes you a leader. And the most outermost layer is the layer of our 5 senses that is observation listening, touch, smell, taste.these are the senses which are very essential to be a leader. This is the perpetual intelligence helps in making great leader.
My key learning’s
·         It all depends on our thoughts and ourselvesthat how do we channelize our thoughts, how we want to live?to admit our mistakes or to hide them.
·         The art of helping other or giving selflessly would make you or keep you always happy so try to give happiness to others without asking anything in return because if one needs anything in favour then it becomes a transaction of give and take. Thus one should always give happiness selflessly and not for any vested interests
·         We should take responsibility of our own work even in teams, if we have made a mistake accept it and try to find a solution to rectify it as well as anayse the condition and try to find why and where did you go wrong.make sure that next time the same ggf-up does not happen.
·         Keep your instincts in mind but then give a responsible reponse.do not just come to conclusions.
·         We should reflect/introspect ourselves everyday and look into our learning, mistakes and appreciations so that we know our strong points and our developmental areas.
