Self-leadership classes and lectures are ingrained  into SOIL&rsquo;s culture. Inherited with SOIL values, all self-leadership sessions are  mindful and engaging that give a huge boost to oneself and matches our  potential to meet the needs of self-proclaim to attain the highest within  oneself.<\/p>\n<p>Self-leadership entails developing and  managing your personal energy in order to initiate, motivate, and perform at a  high level, as well as improving and sustaining your organization&#8217;s leadership  philosophy on an individual level. It includes everything from how you wake up  and go about your morning routine to the strategies you employ to keep your  daily life running smoothly and organized. It is the image of yourself that  others see that inspires and empowers everyone to strive for excellence in all  activities performed toward a common goal. Through various self-leadership  modules and sessions, we have learnt and grown. Here are some key lessons:<\/p>\n<p>You are the most difficult person to lead. You  must first learn to lead yourself before you can lead others. Procrastination  and ambiguous goals are two of the most common reasons for not intentionally  growing to your full potential. Engagement will suffer as long as you or your organization  do not grow, and you will become a victim of the environment around you.<\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, you must define your goals  for yourself. On a piece of paper, write down your goals and the reasons for  them. If you write them down, your chances of success will increase  significantly. Then you must begin to believe that you have already  accomplished them. Your subconscious mind will then start filling in the  blanks. &quot;What you think becomes your reality.&quot; You can hold it in  your hand if you can see it in your head. The same is true for the organisation  you lead. If you keep saying that your organisation is high-performing, your  results will eventually catch up.<\/p>\n<p>Put your primary emphasis on what is working  and encourage continuous improvement. Recognize individuals and groups that are  actively working toward the company&#8217;s goals. People will follow leaders who  develop themselves and hold themselves accountable. People do what they see.<\/p>\n<p>Your leadership attitude is also contagious.  It&#8217;s similar to perfume in that no one can see but everyone can smell. Be a  role model and the change you want to see in the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rajiv Dadwal<\/strong><br \/>\nPGDM-2021-2023<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leadership is not limited to those with a corner office or high acclaims on their wall.
