Law Business Review, May 2010
In the first of a series of articles Jennifer explores the three different stages of leadership and says that, by forming a strong personal vision of what you want to achieve, you can take the first step on the leadership ladder. The three different stages of leadership are:
1. First, you must self-lead, by having a vision for your future and, despite setbacks, must maintain commitment to that vision and have self-belief.
2. Secondly, you must lead within your relationship, by managing yourself as a leader in relation to others.
3. Finally, you must learn to lead others.
This article focuses on the first level of leadership: self-leading. To do this, you must develop self-awareness, think optimistically, control emotions, take action, learn from your mistakes and never stop self-developing.
