3. Definition of Self Leadership
Self-leadership is not about managing others, although self-
leaders make great managers and leaders. The focus is not on

Leadership is a function of knowing yourself, having a vision
that is well communicated, building trust among colleagues,
and taking effective action to realize your own leadership
potential.” — Warren Bennis
