This document discusses self-leadership and creating a self-leadership strategy. It suggests that to develop an effective strategy, one must strengthen fundamental people skills. These include skills like initiative, creative thinking, active listening, and managing stress. The document also recommends focusing on developing honesty, forward-thinking, inspiration and competence. Overall, it argues that differentiation requires strengthening core people powers and selecting a strategy focused on differentiation through developing people's fundamental skills and capacities.

Executive Summary Help People & Organization
What is SELF LEADERSHIP?
The notion of quot;leadershipquot; is a complex one. Others lead through quot;commandsquot; and subordinates
follow because that is what is expected from them. Yet others lead through quot;role modelingquot; or
through what is becoming more known today as quot;self-leadership.quot; Self-Leadership skills are a
quot;mustquot; for 21st century business professionals. Follow Dream Inc. and Takashi Uchida's Self
Leadership consulting and seminar service aims to develop leaders who can lead themselves with
confidence, then lead others/organizations as a role model with the ability to inspire others from
quot;within.quot; It will work through a conceptual quot;BTARRquot; framework model to better understand
the importance of Self-leadership but more importantly, to acquire the practical skills. As
Yukichi Fukuzawa (author of quot;Gakumon no Susumequot; and whose picture appears on JPY10,000 bill)
mentioned: quot;Develop independent People to develop an independent Country,quot; so can an
organization develop a strong and independent organization through developing Self-Leaders.
By the end of this service, customers should have more confidence in leading one's self both in life
and business, and enhance their ability to influence others/organizations effectively and correctly.
