JLBC: SELF LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
JLBC CONTENT SHEET
JLBC Cadets Although self-leadership (and self-management) is a contradiction in terms of leadership necessarily involving more than one person; it is a pervasive and helpful metaphor for how individuals can take charge of their lives.

SELF-LEADERSHIP

The five questions that can effectively guide the self-leadership process are: What can you do? What is your Vision? What are you doing? What are you doing it for? Who is around you through it all?
We will cover these questions in more detail on the following posts.
