Welcome to this episode where we talk about (THE LEADERSHIP HANDBOOK) written by John C. Maxwell. The book provides important lessons for the leaders to be effective and successful.
The second lesson of the book is (The hardest person to lead is always you). The important points under this lesson are the following:
- If we are honest with ourselves, we will admit that the hardest person to lead is ourselves.
- Human nature gives us the ability to underestimate everyone in the world except ourselves.
- If you don not look at yourself realistically, you will never understand where your personal problems lie, and if you do not see them, you will not be able to lead yourself effectively.
- We judge ourselves by our intentions. Even if we do something wrong, if we believe our motives are good, we absolve ourselves of responsibility.
- Leadership is like what cooks in clay pots. It takes time, but the end product is worth the wait.
- Leaders need to remember that the purpose of leadership is not to cross the finish line, but to take people across the finish line with you.
- A lack of accountability in our personal lives inevitably leads to problems in our public lives.
- Nothing proves one's ability to lead others more conclusively than the daily practice of leading oneself.
