What is SELF-LEADERSHIP & SELF-MANAGEMENT?





______________________
What is SELF-LEADERSHIP?


Peter Drucker said, "Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things." Where leaders are big-picture people and outward focused, managers focus inward and concentrating on streamlining; they execute the leader's plan. Corporate managers focus on the details and logistics of company operations, such as team motivation, resource management, teamwork, and day-to-day people issues.

Self-managers don't require outward influence or supervision to complete their jobs. They don't deal with the issues of determining direction, but once they know the destination, they will get themselves there. If it was a road trip, the leader would determine the destination and the self-manager would (without being asked) get the maps, plan out a route, book hotels along the way, and ensure that he had the money to pay for the trip.
Like self-leadership, self-management beings with a mental aspect. Self-managers recognize the details that need to be handled. Self-managers recognize the qualities that make a team or themselves high functioning. In going about a project, self-managers concentrate on issues of time, finances, talents, energy, and relationships and how one can make the best use of these resources.
After making these determinations, the self-manager enacts his plan. The self-manager sticks to his plan but is also adaptable to any unforeseen events. A good manager is a team-first motivator; likewise, a self-manager is a self-motivator who is constantly reminding himself of the team goals.
