Look after yourself!

Create your personal leadership notebook
Look after and lead yourself, and you will be able to look after and lead others. As the summer hopefully brings one or two restful days, take time out to think about what's important to you. You may like your electronic gizmo or old fashioned pen and paper, but make a note of the ideas that come to mind; use your camera to capture to capture images of things that remind you about what's important to you. Above all, enjoy the process. As you assemble your notes (one page per idea gives space for subsequent reflections) see if there are any patterns, if your ideas can be grouped into 6-8 buckets they will be easier to remember and they will stick in your conciousness. At the end of the summer, you can probably define an over-arching goal in each of these areas, and you can use them as your route map for the near future. There is an old Lancashire saying: "The cobblers kids are the worse shod." Heed the sentiment of the instruction to parents travelling with young children on aircraft,"When the oxygen mask falls down put yours on first." Look after and lead yourself, and you will be able to look after and lead others. |
