Peter Drucker, the father of modern management, is known to have said:

"In a few hundred years, when the history of our time will be written from a long time perspective, it is likely that the most important event historians will see is not technology, not the internet, not e-commerce. It is the unprecedented change in the human condition. For the first time – literally – substantial and rapidly growing numbers of people have choices. For the first time, they will have to manage themselves. And, society is totally unprepared for it".

In this episode, I share why learning to lead yourself is the essential skill of the 21st Century, using this quote to give us this insight.

I also highlight counterintuitive behaviours we need to adopt to lead ourselves and inspire those around us to do likewise.
