Personal Mastery and Leadership
Nations, private
and public organizations, governmental and nongovernmental organizations need
great leaders that play a role model to lead and inspire individuals and
societies. Leadership must be linked with vision, commitment, involvement, and
dedication to help individual organizational self-development and
self-confidence of the people. Acting so, the transformational leader inspires
and motivates followers who believe that the leader is fair and credible,
beginning to see themselves as a link in the same victory channel to:
-
think
creatively to nurture the seeds of change and transformational vision to act
accordingly to performance results, and ethically.
-
take
effective actions that enhance their capacities and influence their life and therefore
the trajectory of their group or organization
-
recognize
reality and remain grounded on it, understanding that they could influence
others.
It is important for
a leader to understand the vision and the mission of the organization. A leader who has achieved personal mastery
would be able to identify the methods on how to effectively achieve the
organization’s goals. Personal mastery helps a person identify what are their
guiding values and their goals.
Personal mastery
allows people to deal with change. Change is one thing constant in this world.
Leaders and organizations should be open to change. Accepting that change is
inevitable prepares leaders and organizations to also change their methods to
be able to achieve their goals.
Personal mastery
allows a leader to develop characteristics that would help them deal with
difficult situations and pressures. It also helps a leader to understand and
deal with the team members’ weaknesses and strengths.
Effective leaders
should understand how to give feedback and criticisms without sounding as if to
chastise the person. The intention
behind providing feedback is giving support; it is never intended to be an
order or to control the person. Personal
mastery helps individuals develop an effective way of managing their emotions. This
would help leaders when they are giving criticisms, they would learn to respond
instead of reacting.
Personal mastery
instills integrity, authenticity and confidence in a leader. These are the
characteristics which would help a leader to have a clear vision and at the
same clearer and more decisive action. Personal mastery could increase the
potential of a leader. Business leaders
have been testifying that stepping towards personal mastery can provide changes
in the leadership, performance and have decisive and significant results.
It is important to
get back to the basics. The core for an
organization and business success relies on human capital. A leader should think that he or she is
capable of influencing change.
The benefits of
personal mastery for leadership have broad and deep effects. Its effects can also be felt for a long
time. There are numerous programs where
business executives and organizational leaders can apply to achieve personal
mastery in their chosen career.
There are countless leaders
who have testified that undergoing personal mastery programs have enabled them
to maintain balance in their lives and at the same time shape them into
becoming effective leaders. But even so, members or any individual can still
apply to be a part of the programs.
There are great benefits if all the members of the team would
undergo transformation because of the personal mastery programs.
