Better self-esteem: Effective change comes from within
There must be a personal realization and insight about why it is necessary to change. This is important since all changes create some kind of discomfort making it easier not to change but to stay the same.
Some useful dimensions in evaluating how you can improve to reach your goals is to think in the two dimensions skill and will.
Paul Hersey and Kenneth Blanchard have introduced a matrix based on these two dimensions that have been used in many leadership development programs.
This matrix has two axes:
One is the skill level: how competent is the person in completing the specific task, hence the ability level. One can range from low ability to high ability in the different dimensions required to successfully complete the task.
The other axis is the will level: How willing is the person to complete the specific task, hence the level of motivation. One can range from low motivation to high motivation.
For a starter try this:
Think about your current goal – are you stronger at the skill side or will side?
What 3 things could you do to increase each of them?
