It’s about taking care of those in your charge,” this article explores the critical role of self-leadership. Learn how continuous improvement and a growth mindset can help you lead effectively and build strong, high-performing teams. Key Takeaways: - Prioritize self-development to avoid being the lid on your team’s potential. - Balance leading others with continuous personal growth. - Build trust and foster collaboration through self-awareness and emotional intelligence.
