In Monday’s (08) talk at the Business Management Workshop, Prof. Candice Ermel, professor of personal and professional development in the Business Administration and Hospital Management programs at FAPUGA, addressed the factors of excellence and personal leadership that make up the traits of a leader.
Considering that each person has special talents and skills, in just under an hour Candice spoke about the importance of identifying them as early as possible, because, after all, they can help you achieve the goals you set for your life.
“I see many lines (of thinking) that focus heavily on points that need improvement, and even on an internal process of judgment, always looking at what needs to be done on top of that, with very strong self-pressure. And it is important to see that if we use our skills even to do something more challenging, everything flows better. That is why I brought five tips that will help in the process of self-discovery,” the professor explains.
5 Tips for Developing Excellence and Personal Leadership
Before getting into the five essential factors of self-discovery, the professor commented that you need to find out what you are really good at and be 100% sure of it. It may be an area in which you project confidence when speaking or doing.
Once you understand this, you can improve them and begin your process of self-discovery, growing in your area of excellence and working on personal leadership.
1 – You are excellent in this area
And you understand this after identifying what you feel confident doing or speaking about. You are not merely good; it is something you do better than anything else in your life. So excellence and personal leadership is one of your differentiators.
2 – You are in a cheerful state, enjoying the experience
It is not something you have to force yourself to do or remember some detail for, but rather it is natural, cheerful and enjoyable to do. In fact, this good mood is a major differentiator in your profession.
3 – You are energized, even if a few minutes earlier you were worn out, stressed and exhausted
It is as if your profession were a source of energy and happiness for you. You may be sad, stressed or have gone through difficult situations, but even so, when it is time to do what you love, you are transformed.
4 – Those around you also become energized
It is as if a rush of adrenaline were contagious in the environment where you are doing what you love and what you are good at. In other words, more possibilities to pursue excellence and personal leadership in your profession.
5 – You have a desire to continuously improve these talents and skills
Because you like it and take pleasure in what you do, you are not satisfied with anything less than becoming truly extraordinary at it, and you work to get there. Not out of a sense of duty or obligation, but out of inner knowledge, which is an essential step toward reaching your most precious goals.
See what she says about excellence and personal leadership:
“Regardless of what you are doing, even if you are not in the place you would like to be, it is important to dedicate yourself with all your heart and make use of all your skills in what you set out to do at that moment. That way, from the moment you give yourself fully, it is as if the doors to the next paths were opened. But if you create resistance to it, it is hard and you do it reluctantly or in a bad mood, you can’t make either the present or the future good,” she comments.
