Icebreaker and Introductions
What makes someone a leader
Leadership is action not position
--Kouzes and Posner
A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves. --Lao Tzu, 6th century B.C.
Are you a leader?
YES!
What is Personal Leadership?
The desire of an individual to take charge of his or her
own life
The place to begin building any relationship is inside ourselves…our own character. (Covey)
How to define your personal leadership
• List your traits, strengths and values. Words that describe how you want to be viewed as a person and as a leader.
• Combine these words to define your identity.
