LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
After this chapter, you will be able to:

 Understand and discuss the idea of self-leadership
and appreciate the important role it plays in the
success of an organization.
 Discuss appropriately the development of self-
leadership and practice it in your organization.
 Know and argue who should be influenced the
leaders, the subordinate, or both.
SELF-LEADERSHIP – is the first stage or leadership

level. It is of great importance to the staff, whether
managers or ordinary subordinate.
SIGNIFICANCE OF SELF-
LEADERSHIP:
1. Self-leadership allows leaders of senior officers, who
undergo very little or no supervision, to prepare and
set targets on their own, as well as to control their
own self to execute such plans.
2. For lower-level employees or subordinates, who
cannot always be sure of the kind of governance or
leaders they may face in their careers, self-
management enables them to become effective and
efficient workers under any leadership they may
encounter, be it laissez-faire, free-rule, democratic or
autocratic.
3. Self-leadership helps make individual decision-
makers proactive, focused, and autonomous. People
who do not have a strong sense of self-leadership
tend to feel that they are not in control of themselves,
frequently lose concentration, and easily get
frustrated.
DEVELOPMENT OF SELF-
LEADERSHIP:
• The following are the ways of developing self-
leadership:
1. Clarity of Purpose
2. Aim at Success and Take Reasonable Risks
3. Spend Time to Reflect on Your Life
4. Don’t Tolerate just Anything
1. CLARITY OF PURPOSE
-This means that each entity
must have a vision and be able
to set it up. Being your own
leader, your purpose or vision
will be the foundation upon
which you will build self-
leadership.
2. A I M AT S U C C E S S A N D TA K E
REASONABLE RISKS
- Risk-taking is a necessary part
of life. Challenge yourself to
take on challenging
assignments. Do not deter
yourself or others from past
failures rather concentrate on
success. However, risks that
are applicable to your intent
should be measured.
3. SPEND TIME TO REFLECT ON

YOUR LIFE
- Reflects can also mean letting
others make an objective
evaluation of you. Although you
remain the active doer of the
things that you are doing, you
may only see things from your
v i e w p o i n t . Ta k i n g s o m e t i m e o ff
think too about life. Compare the
experience of the current and
present to hopes of the future.
Yo u c a n n e v e r n o t i c e t h o s e s m a l l
defects until you pause to
examine yourself.
4. DON’T T O L E R AT E JUST
ANYTHING
- Yo u s h o u l d n o t r i s k y o u r d r e a m .
Yo u s h o u l d l e a r n t o b e i n t o l e r a n t
of any suggestions or ideas that
don’t suit your vision. This
intolerance is not just toward
others but also toward you. It
involves not tolerating negative
f a c t o r s s u c h a s l a z i n e s s , a n x i e t y,
and many others in your nature.
SIMPLE WAY S TO LEAD
YOURSELF:
1. Know your Values and Stick to Them
2. Move Towards Purpose
3. Keep Improving Yourself
4. Make Mistake But Never Make the Same Mistake
Twice
5. Lead by Example
1. KNOW YOUR VALUES AND STICK TO THEM

- The ones with real values and ethics are the most
trustworthy leaders. Find ideas that reverberate with
your philosophy, temperament, and creeds to become
an effective leader. Make sure that you know what
type of leader you want to become because personal
beliefs in leadership, core values, and the
implementation of those values help leaders become
successful.
2. M O V E T O WA R D S P U R P O S E
- You can’t be a leader unless you have a clear
intention to help you through the dark times. The aim
at the end of a tunnel is like a light; a hope that keeps
us going. As a leader, you can inspire, guide, and
encourage your subordinate to achieve larger
objectives if you have a clear purpose, then you can
make sure the team is aligned with a common
purpose.
3. KEEP IMPROVING YOURSELF

- Great leaders are working hard to improve, expand
and evolve into better versions of them. Whether
you’ve just started leading or you’ve been a veteran
in your place, make it a point to learn something new
by going back home.
4. MAKE MISTAKES BUT NEVER MAKE THE

SAME MISTAKE TWICE
- The only thing that sets a leader different from a great
leader is that he/she never makes the same mistake
twice. Note also that on the back of disappointment
always comes the greatest successes. Trying new
stuff and doing things that challenge your comfort
zone is important. You might end up making mistakes
while doing so that everyone does. So over them,
there’s no need to be ashamed.
5. LEAD BY EXAMPLE
- None is easier that leading from
the front. Not only is it a brave
thing to do it is a very leading
thing. Perhaps that’s why they all
find it toughest. The only thing
that can turn you into a leader is
when you begin to act like one.
