The first person we must examine is ourselves.
People are unaware of who they are and what they do often damage relationships with others. The way to change that is to look in the mirror.
A leader's tendency is to examine someone else, asking what is wrong with that person. Why are they doing their job correctly?
Why don't they ever come to work on time? Unfortunately this is how many leaders react. It's easy to teach leadership; it's difficult to model leadership.
Victory over self is essential for the leader.
Author Terry Felber in his book Am I Making Myself Clear? said the following:
There's something innate in us that looks out for our own interests before those of others. If I take a photograph of a group you are with, who is the first person you look for in the picture? Yourself if course! You'll think to yourself, look at my hair! It's all messed up! And my eyes are half closed. Look at that crooked smile on my face. The most important person to you is yourself.A key difference between followers and leaders is very simple. Followers think of themselves first, leaders think of others first. Putting others before yourself is a key victory for a leader.
