To be a great leader, you must know who you are and where you've been.
Leadership requires a tremendous sense of self-awareness—one that typically takes time and experience to develop. The personal leadership lifeline is a reflective exercise that helps you examine the events, people, and experiences that have shaped you as a leader. By understanding your past, you can better identify your values, set meaningful goals, and pursue opportunities aligned with your true self.
David Novak developed and refined this tool throughout his career, ultimately using the self-awareness it provided to chart his path from marketing to operations—and eventually to co-founder and CEO of Yum! Brands. He still revisits and updates his lifeline each year to reflect on experiences and continue growing.
