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! “

The only thing that can make every aspect of your daily work easier and more successful is learning more about yourself and your environment.”

The psychological contract in the face of the need for meaning

In a constantly changing world, business management must adapt to numerous challenges. Among these, the question of the meaning of work arises acutely. On the one hand, companies are constantly being challenged on their societal, climate and governance commitments. Without always knowing what to put in place beyond specific actions aimed at inclusion or their environmental responsibility. On the other hand, employees are disengaging. Absences at work are at their highest, on average 2 weeks per person in 2023 in Switzerland. 42% of French people under 35 are considering leaving their job, which no longer makes sense for them.

Happiness at work: is it up to the company to make us happy?

In the age of Chief Happiness Officers, or happiness managers, companies seem to have to take responsibility for the happiness of their employees. But is that really their role? Are they responsible for this happiness that is apparently so sought after and desired by employees?

Self-knowledge: how to understand yourself in a complex and uncertain world

Self-knowledge is at the heart of self-leadership; it allows us to consciously work on our strengths and weaknesses, but also to progress towards roles that fully satisfy us. But how do you understand each other? How do we know who we are? That is the difficulty, as we live in a complex and uncertain world.
