I am in the process of writing my first leadership book, which is set to release in late Q4.
More specifically, Im working with an editor to crystallize the content I have poured on hundreds of pages over 12+ months of Sunday writing sessions.
My initial intent was to write a book about leading others.
Yes, that will come.
However, the writing process has been a therapeutic exercise in reflection, which has created great clarity.
It opened my eyes to the simplicity and complexity of leadership.
While not everyone desires or should be a leader of others.
Every human on Earth has to be a self-leader.
You are responsible for leading yourself; no one else is!
Using “First Principles” thinking, it only makes sense to begin at the foundation.
Self-Leadership.
The good news?
My experience has shown me that leading yourself is about 80%+ of the battle of leading others.
So my lesson today is this.
Leading yourself well (otherwise known as self-mastery) should be your biggest priority.
It’s the foundation of leading a beautiful life and will equip you to lead others if you so choose.
Without strong self-leadership, nothing else matters.
