E65 - Rooted & Unwavering Podcast - Dec 19 - Hylke Faber & Margaret Andrews

<p>Manage Yourself First<br>to Lead Others</p><p>“Coming out of the hospital with my firstborn son, I realized I had no idea how to raise a child,” shares Maragaret Andrews, author of Manage Yourself to Lead Others. Similarly, we learn to become good parents to ourselves by repeatedly allowing ourselves the humility of not knowing how we will coach ourselves through the challenges we encounter. 85% of what makes bosses great is their interpersonal skills and EQ. The other 15% is IQ and technical skills, Margaret learned from in-classroom research with executives. The good news is we can learn EQ. The bad news is that it’s hard at times. Margaret was told by a boss she had no self-awareness. At first, she felt defensive. She now reflects that is a natural part of being human. Then she became curious and started to change. Ask yourself: how well do you know yourself? How do you manage yourself? How do you care for others? These three questions can help you increase your interpersonal leadership effectiveness</p><p><br></p>
