ARE YOU READY FOR SELF-LEADERSHIP?

Leadership begins with self-leadership. After all, if you can’t lead yourself, what makes you think you can lead others? If you can’t set a direction for your life, set frames of meaning that excite you with a vision and mission in life, identify where you want to go and begin to launch out in that direction, and solve the problems that come along (the foundational leadership skills)— what makes you think you can lead a group of people in doing those very things?

This is one of the key reasons why we emphasize self-leadership in Neuro-Semantics and why several trainers even use the title, Self-Leadership for APG trainings. The first time I became aware of this is when I talked with Colin and Lena in New Zealand and discovered that they had re-named Access Your Personal Genius as Self-Leadership. It makes sense. Today when I have the opportunity to train APG, I regularly make comments about how the different patterns are also patterns of, and prerequisites for, self-leadership.
