No amount of good leadership can motivate an unmotivated person.
Too much bad leadership can demotivate a motivated person – temporarily.
Most of us – if not all – want to be lead well. We want someone we can look to for inspiration, direction, challenge, or standards. The good news is, you can be that leader for yourself. You should be that leader for yourself.
You should set measurable goals for yourself, and hold yourself accountable to them. You should manage your time well. You should take every thought captive so you’re not perpetuating negativity and sinfulness in yourself. You should always be upping your game and challenging yourself to increase the quality of your work – and of your life.
Leading yourself well will only get you so far in an organization that wants to lead your poorly, but it’s the only way you’ll be able to achieve your goals.
