What drives us to do great things

Art of War by Sun Tzu

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles

If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat

If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle

“To Order One’s Life”Self-Awareness As The Foundation Of Leadership

Leaders invest equally in their human skills, in their capacity to lead

An introspective journey builds the foundation for success

1. Appreciating oneself as talented

2. Identifying personal, derailing baggage that prevents the realization of full potential

3. Articulating personally motivating goals and ambitions

4. Determining what one stands for, what impact one wants to make

5. Developing a worldview that guides interaction with others

6. Acquiring the habit of updating oneself regularly on all the above

All leadership begins with self-leadership, and self-leadership begins with knowing oneself
