Ironical but extremely true. Another element that I believe is important is empowerment. Empower yourself with to grow, take risks and make mistakes, without which, you'll never progress. And when you can't progress, it'll only be a matter of time before you'll get managed by someone else who do.

Thanks for the insight, Steph!

Excellent article! Unfortunately, it’s quite common for leaders with great qualities to limit themselves by a lack of self-management. In the wake of massive corporate corruption, people are looking for character in their leadership, which is a good thing.

These are the very reasons why I will never be a manager. I can barely manage these things in myself.

I'm no longer a manager at this point in my life, but when I was, I found these points to be invaluable to me. In fact, in addition to managing myself, I would allow those working for me to be self-managing ... saving me time and frustration!

The skills of self management that I learned then were invaluable steps to becoming what I am now -- completely independent of a manager! :)

Thanks for another great post, Stephen!
