Leadership is one of the most important topics worldwide. Developed countries and successful organization focus much on leadership. One of the useful books that supports leadership subject is (Developing The Leader Within You 2.0) written by John C. Maxwell. I advice anyone wants to learn leadership or enhance his or her leadership skills to read this book.
The ninth section of the book is tilted with (The Expansion of Leadership: Personal Growth). Some leaders might think that by reaching leadership positions that they don't require to improve or they don't have time to improve. This mindset is not correct as the leader is most important person to grow.
The author mention the importance of personal growth through the following points:
- Growth is the only guarantee that tomorrow will be better.
- Growth means change.
- Growth is the decisive factor between successful and unsuccessful people.
The author states also some advantages for growth such as:
- Growth will increase hope.
- Continuous growth will provide hope as the time passes.
Growth is enjoyable. This how the author describes growth and this true for those who entered this track as there will be lot of new knowledge and experience that will improve the leader and keep him always a positive role model for others.
It is really important for any leader to have a plan for personal growth since the benefits won't be only be for him but for others also.
