Strengthen Your Willpower to Change Habits

We have all been here: you would like to change something about yourself, but because of time, stress, or other external factors, it seems impossible. In actuality, the problem might just be your perception of these barriers and your willpower to overcome them. We as humans find comfort routines and repetition, making those bad habits hard to break and those good habits difficult to adopt. It is important to analyze your willpower and determine the root cause of your shortcomings. Only then will you truly know how to change yourself to be a better leader.
