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! “

Take all its place

Taking our place means deciding to take responsibility. It means having the courage to take on a role in confronting our aspirations with our changing professional realities. Self-leadership goes further. It's taking your place, but also taking your place.

Do you have to be ambitious to be a good leader?

“The teeth that scratch the parquet.” This famous expression, an image of human ambition, sounds like a judgment. Indeed, the ambitious who seeks success, status and money at all costs. The one who always wants more for purely personal purposes. But is ambition confined only to this pejorative straitjacket? However, if it is perceived so negatively, cannot ambition be at the service of the best? Do you have to have ambition to be a real leader?
