How can Personal Leadership add value in your life?
Personal Leadership is the ability to lead yourself to success and puts you in the driving seat of your life. By taking positive control and responsibility of your life, you direct yourself towards who you want to be and how you plan to live.
By choosing growth over security, personal leaders learn to lead themselves before leading others. Personal leader characteristics include determination, optimism, resilience, and problem-solving capabilities.
How do we measure personal leadership within our programs?
We measure the development of personal leadership through Locus of control - a theoretical construct derived from Psychologist Julian B. Rotter's (1954) social learning theory of personality.
It refers to the degree to which individuals believe they have control over the outcomes in their lives.
Those with an internal Locus of Control believe that they make things happen in their lives.
Those with an external Locus of Control believe they are the victims of circumstance and that other people and chance predict their outcomes. ​People's early experience can influence their Locus of Control, especially those with unpredictable childhoods.
Our programs focus on participants creating a healthy Locus of Control where they demonstrate personal leadership through learning how to take responsibility for the outcomes that are within their control and managing their responses to things that are not.
The development of self-identity is a continuous learning process - a big part of the leadership journey.
Using relatable examples participants explore what Personal Leadership looks like in their lives, in education and in the workplace and become the experts as they advise what leadership traits and habits should be displayed to achieve a successful outcome. Consequential thinking is encouraged as well as the long-term benefits of taking responsibility for our own actions
