Leadership Lessons from Books on
Self-Development Part-2
Self-Development is a continuous process and it doesn’t happen with
one book; hence the Authors also keep publishing more, as and when they
complete a book, they do realise what they have missed in their earlier book
and bring it up in the next book. One of the components of growth is
realisation, let us understand what we can learn from the following point
Develop A Sense of Realisation
While reading a book on
self-development, readers will slowly start realising their potential, their
short comings etc, these realisations are the starting point of change, those
who are serious about changing themselves will start applying the learning from
the book.
The Lesson we can infer from the
above point is, Leaders should help their subordinates realise their potential
and shortcomings, such realisation can only happen when there is a regular
engagement between the Leader and the subordinate.
There are set of subordinates, whose
Intrapersonal Intelligence is high i.e. the ability to understand self, they
can realise their own potential and shortcomings by introspection, whereas
there are others who require an outside force to help them realise and that force
is the Leader. A true Leader is an unbiased and selfless person who has the willingness
to realise and help others realise.
Before helping other to realise take
a journey into self and list down the benefits of self-realisation.
Every page in a good book is a value
for money, similarly every interaction with a Leader should be a valuable
discussion, which should either help the subordinate to realise their
shortcomings or realise their value
Leadership is
a Function of Discovering Self and helping others Discover the Leader in them
