When learning to lead, many leaders make the assumption they must learn the skills in order to lead others, to go out and improve, fix and evaluate their teams, etc. While those skills hold much value, the first step - and the most important - is learning to lead yourself well first! It will be the first and most difficult step in your leadership journey.
