Leadership Begins With Self-Awareness

To know others, you must see yourself in them.

If you want to be successful, self-awareness is important.
Because if you do not know who you are,
if you do not know yourself, 
if you do not know what you can do,
if you do not know what you cannot do,
you will find it difficult to lead other people.

To lead others, you must first lead yourself.
You must first "know thyself."

According to Fiona Buckland, "Self-awareness
is your primary leadership skill. You lead 
from yourself, with yourself."

If you want to lead others, know who you are.
If you want know others, know yourself.
If you want others to follow you, you go first.
When you do, they will come.
