I just finished reading the book Managing Oneself by Peter F. Drucker. (If you haven’t read it, please do. Only 60 pages, but powerful)
Don’t know who Peter F. Drucker is?
He is known as the Father of Modern Management, his writings and education has led to being the philosophical and practical foundations of modern business.
Many people want to have big companies, lead a change in culture, and lead people on to successful lives- yet they can barely manage themselves.
It all starts with managing yourself first before you can manage other people.
If you can’t manage and lead yourself first, you will be unsuccessful in leading and managing others.
It’s all just one big internal game.
To get esoteric, it goes with the saying, "As below, so above."
Your external experience is just a reflection of your internal experience.
I want to give you some big questions and points I took away from the read to hopefully allow your mind to start turning.
“Successful careers are not planned. They develop when people are prepared for opportunities because they know their strengths, methods of work, and their values.”
This book had a lot of incredible insight to looking inward at self first in order to rework and rewire how we view ourselves in order to then manage ourselves.
I hope by asking yourself these simple, yet very complex questions you can gain the knowledge to then apply what you learned and then elevate your professional life.
You got this.
Keep Going,
Kyle
