Self-management challenges

To manage or to lead others, one should be able to manage the self in a perfect manner first. By managing the self in a planned and systematic manner, we can set examples before others and therefore creating an atmosphere of  encouraging perfection .It is really true that we can better the ways of doing things, if we try to achieve perfection in performing the job we are assigned with. Hence from onw onwards , we should always try to set a higher standard of performance for ourselves and things on all fronts will improve automatically. Behind all our imperfections and failures, we ourselves are to be blamed, as the root cause might be one or more of the following:
1. lethargy
2. procrastination
3. waste of time and energy in unproductive areas
4. lack of sense of timing
5. mismanagement of time
6. not having the tenacity and determination to complete our assignments in time

etc.etc.

Hence the biggest lesson in management and leadership should be 'striving for perfection' 'continuous practice in doing things' so that others feel motivated and inspired for achieving perfection in their own domains. We should be able to attain perfection in speaking, writing, behaving, and engaging our skills in attainign our desired objectives in both professional and personal lives
