I have observed that people make strategic plans for brands, businesses, and companies, but they are not always strategic about themselves.
True leadership cannot be awarded, appointed, or assigned. It comes only from Influence.
To lead yourself, use your head; to lead others, use your heart. Always touch a person's heart before you ask him for a hand.

Lead yourself whenever your boss' leadership deteriorates. When your boss doesn't praise what you do, praise yourself. When your boss doesn't make you big, make yourself big. Remember, if you have done your best, failure does not count.
All great leaders have understood that their number one responsibility is cultivating their own discipline and personal growth. Those who cannot lead themselves cannot lead others.
The key is taking responsibility and initiative, deciding what your life is about and prioritizing your life around the most important things.
