Self-leadership is the ability to achieve your personal and professional goals while helping the company or organisation you work for to be successful. It involves having a good understanding of who you are, where you want to go and what you can achieve, and being able to manage your emotions and behaviour in a way that leads you to success.

In business, in addition to the individual, self-leadership actually benefits the organisation as a whole. With self-leadership, a leader can influence others to take action so that the organisation's goals are achieved.

Apart from helping you achieve your own personal goals for your life and career, the benefits of self-leadership include:

• Makes you more efficient and productive
• Keeps you motivated and accountable
• Builds stronger relationships with colleagues
• Inspires others to follow your example

Self-leadership is important because it is needed to help you achieve your professional goals and be a good leader for others. Good leaders must have the ability to lead by example.
