Self-Leadership is also for leaders

Jean-Yves Mercier

Guillaume Clément, CEO of Resology and winner of the first Corporate Challenge Trophies organized in 2011 by the Club des Entreprises de l'Ouest Toulousain, share his experience here.

“As the business manager of a group of SMEs, I had the pleasure of doing the Self-Leadership training.
The work on myself that this training requires me to gain height to find this quest for meaning that drives us all. The long time that this work requires has allowed me to appropriate the tools to take control of my Soft Skills. The hyperconnectivity in which we are constantly immersed is at odds with the long-term projection of the vision of the business leader.”

Guillaume participated in a group bringing together 4 business leaders, all of whom were asking themselves the question of the direction to give to their company, but ultimately also to their careers. Continue, grow, or even sell?

Guillaume made his choice:

“It is in this management of paradoxes and tensions that the tools are operational. The result is a clarity of vision over the long term that allows teams to be given a precise direction with confidence and serenity in chaotic times. Let's not let external influences take over our lives, let's become the entrepreneur of our lives again! “

“I am on the verge of burn-out!” Who has not heard or said this sentence, whose resonance is even stronger in times of pandemic. It has become an overused expression and is often used during a period of intense work-related stress. However, it is full of meaning. Burn-out, the real one, is a professional exhaustion syndrome, which according to the WHO, sets in gradually. But why, faced with the same professional situation, do some people sink and others don't? In addition to external conditions, what role does the lack of self-knowledge play?
