Leader, Lead Thyself: How to Focus on Self to Better Lead Others
The greatest leaders often start with little to show but a vision and a dream. Inspiring people to embrace their goals, join their ranks, and work alongside them is imperative for leaders.

Manz, defining self-leadership as a “comprehensive self-influence perspective that concerns leading oneself toward performance of naturally motivating tasks, as well as managing oneself to do work that must be done but is not naturally motivating.”
While there are many different types of leadership, the practice of self-leadership may be the most important style to not only build up oneself but also to inspire others to be the best versions of themselves.
