Mastering Self Leadership Report
Self-leadership is a trait that everyone possesses, whether they know it or not. During at least one point in their lives, everyone has had to take responsibility and lead themself in order to achieve their goal. Not everyone realizes it, but everyone has done it. The book Mastering Self-Leadership: Empowering Yourself for Personal Excellence by Christopher P. Neck and Charles C. Manz explains the different types of leadership, different approaches to self-leadership, and how you can lead yourself through numerous situations using multiple self-leadership concepts. Overall, this is a great book that will definitely help you become a better leader to others, as well as yourself, and will help you achieve your goals.
Summary
Chapter one explains what leadership is, what the different types of leadership are, and how we all lead ourselves. It is a basis for the rest of the book. Chapter two talks about how both personal and external factors shape our personality. How each individual processes and reacts to what goes on in the world is what our personality is, so the outside world plays a major factor on how we act. Chapter three explains that not everything in life is easy to do and it shows you how to overcome obstacles in life. It starts off by assessing your self-leadership skills with a brief assessment and then goes on to explain how to remove negative cues, implement positive cues, setting specific long and short-term goals, searching and defining purpose in life, and how to achieve your goals using self-reward, self-punishment, and practice. Chapter four goes into depth on the importance of natural reward. Natural reward is getting enjoyment from doing an activity without doing it for the sole purpose of a physical reward. This means that you are doing something because you like to do it, not because you will get a pay raise or promotion from it. Chapter four goes onto
