Leadership is to take self lead, have self belief, be dependable and have a positive outlook even in difficult times. To take self lead, one needs to understand the “Self Model”. The self model comprises of 6 layers as depicted below :
1. Body - "Divesity"
2. Instincts
3. Emotions - "Compassion"
4. Intellect - "Ethics"
5. Ego - "Sustainability"
6. Truth - "Mindfulness"
2. Instincts
3. Emotions - "Compassion"
4. Intellect - "Ethics"
5. Ego - "Sustainability"
6. Truth - "Mindfulness"
One needs to overcome the self barriers and attain synchronization of body, mind and soul. “The soul is the subject here and rest all are objects”. One needs to leverage on the strengths and overcome the weaknesses in the journey of becoming a leader.
As a leader, the ability to effectively communicate with the people is a very powerful tool for influencing, inspiring and motivating people. For effective communication to take place the complete involvement of the speaker and listener is necessary. Understanding is not governed only by speaking as is the common notion; rather each and every spec of the human body can be used to convey the message. Like a simply touch to sympathize with someone can convey what may be difficult to express with words.
So we can say that, to lead and inspire self, one has to lead with a synchronized body, mind and soul.
