Description:
This is a declination of the Self-Leadership concept developed by Sally Foley-Lewis. It is based on three intersecting components and 3 further factors:
- Self- Regulation is, simply stated, the ability to calm yourself when you’re upset, to process – not ignore – your emotions. It’s being able to regulate or control your emotions. It’s a necessary skill for emotional wellbeing and for your own best interest. To self-regulate is to take a pause between the emotion or the feeling that arises in a situation and the action you choose to take.
- Self-Motivation is your drive to do something. While motivation can fluctuate, and often does as a response to the environment, self-motivation means you can find the reason, focus and energy to complete your work or a task without external influence.
- With high self-motivation and the strong ability to self-regulate you have choice: your responses to others, actions, decisions, handling team conflict, challenging assumptions.
- Self- Awareness is your knowledge of your own character, personality, strengths, and weaknesses. The greater your self-awareness the smaller your blind spots – those parts of you others can see or determine about you that you may not be aware of for, of about, yourself. The greater your self-awareness the more you are able to understand the people around you and how they perceive you, allowing you to adapt to a broader range of situations.
- With a high level of motivation and awareness you are poised to reach your potential.
- Responsibility is at the intersection of awareness and regulation: this is about you taking responsibility for the actions you take. When you strive to be the best version of yourself you are seen as a leader. Working on, developing, growing, and caring for yourself: this is not selfish. It is setting yourself up to be a productive leader creating a legacy for your team, your loved ones and yourself.
