Self-leadership ◾ a LDP discussion
Hi everyone,
Leadership cannot be separated from self-leadership which involves influencing your own thoughts and actions to achieve your desired goals.
2 factors that heavily affect self-leadership quality are self-awareness and emotion regulation skills.
🥰 Let's talk:
- What is self-leadership in your own words? And please share some thoughts, insights, and tips or your story about self-leadership.
- What are some strategies to improve emotion regulation?

Hi, Oui Cherie, I liked this approach because so often Leadership is looked at as Leadership of Others, and what finer topic than Leadership of Ourselves to achieve our Goals in Life.
What is self-leadership in your own words? And please share some thoughts, insights, and tips or your story about self-leadership. Self-leadership in my own words is the ability to set a goal for the Self and then achieve it. It's the ability to be flexible, realizing that goals may have to shift at some times, and the ability to be able to negotiate and collaborate with others, because it is the rare goal that involves only the singular person. It involves resilience. It includes creating habits of work.What are some strategies to improve emotion regulation? Some strategies to improve emotional regulation might include getting regular health checkups, making sure you are healthy inside and out, taking regular food, exercise and stress reduction activities, and also creating a map of how to achieve one's goal and perhaps a checklist to daily progress, some sort of journal.

Spot on! Self-leadership often overlooked in leadership topics :)
I like your definition. There are many elements that build the self-lead ability. I saw there's a goal setting skill, grit, resilience, self-compassion, communication and teamwork skills.
Also emotion regulation strategy that you shared is practical. Wonderful! Thank you, Tas!
