Abstract: Abstract How do you let go and face the future? Many leaders arrive where they are because of their ability to fight and win. Sometimes, however, winning is not enough. The ability for us to let go and face the future is intrinsically bound to our ability to manage ourselves, to know when not to fight or when to pick a different battle. Self-insight enables a manager to manage him- or herself, choosing one course of action in preference to others. We underpin the process of managing oneself by reflecting on what it means to be a leader, and consequently what we must do to become a better leader.
