JUST A THOUGHT… Leader, know Thyself

The foundation of all people development is the lifelong habit of developing ourselves. The better we understand ourselves, the better we will understand people. In leadership, as in life, experience is the best teacher.

You would think understanding that personal development precedes people development is a given. Yet, I found it isn’t always so; even among some gifted leaders, I have discovered deficiencies in self-awareness.

We can not lead people down roads we haven’t walked; education can be obtained through reading books, but reading people can only be achieved through the experience of maintaining relationships. …It’s just a thought. – JSP
