\u201cI believe self-management would not work in our organization. As it involves prioritizing time in thinking about managing oneself and it doesn\u2019t involve practising such competencies as taking a team in the account and thinking about others while working as a team would be much better for the growth of the organization\u201d(Kunal, 2018).\u00a0 Thank you for sharing your thoughts Kunal, however, I would like to challenge this statement.\u00a0 Self-management happens through self-reflection.\u00a0 \u201cSelf-reflection is the most important tool in the value-based leadership toolbox\u201d (Kraemer, 2015, p.15).\u00a0 Before we try to understand others we must understand ourselves.\u00a0 Without self-awareness, we can\u2019t lead others.\u00a0 A manager or a leader who is not aware of his or her own needs, values can\u2019t manage others well.\u00a0 \u201cWithout self-reflection, it is impossible to become a valued-based leader\u201d(Kraemer, 2015, p.15). \u00a0I don\u2019t think we can contribute to the growth of an organization unless we grow at a personal level.\u00a0\u00a0 A self-managed leader has confidence and strength to guide and facilitate the team.\u00a0 Once we are able to manage ourselves we can perform to the best of our ability.\u00a0 \u201cValued-based leadership moves from the inside out, rooted in the knowledge of what you stand for and what matters most personally and professionally\u201d (Kraemer, 2015, p.16).\u00a0 Through self-management and self-reflection we can become much more aware of our personal skills.\u00a0 These learned skills that we can utilize to help our team become their best as well.\u00a0 \u201cWhile strategic influence begins with a hard look at yourself, it also involves skills related to building trust and others\u201d (Hughes, Beatty and Dinwoodie, 2014, p.157).\u00a0 Self-management is the first and foremost key to success.<\/p>\n
