Empowering self-concepts for self-leadership: Developing dynamic workforce talent from within

As explained in Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory (1977) the concept of agency involves ownership and control over internal thoughts and external actions. Therefore, self is a cognitive concept that encompasses beliefs, regulation, discipline, determination, and care (Bandura, 1977). This is what guides self-leadership. The self-concept scenarios, in this discourse, are offered to provide practical applications for team leaders to encourage self-leadership when the goal is to develop a dynamic workforce suitable for today’s dynamic workplace.
