Self-leadership is another word
for personal growth 
​and it is a priority for young people

---

Self-leadership, the ability to guide and manage oneself, is becoming one of the top priorities for younger generations. For Millennials and Gen Z, personal growth is not just about career advancement - it’s about developing emotional awareness and following their values.

If we talk numbers, we see that:

• 72% of Millennials say personal development is important for career success. Lack of it is also the main reported reason for leaving.
• 55% of Gen Z spend at least one hour a week listening and engaging with self-development content.
• 80% of young professionals believe self-leadership is critical for navigating work and life challenges.
  
  

But we do not need these numbers - we know that from experience. Personal growth has become the number one topic for books, content and conversations in most platforms.

For young people, personal growth is not something they are willing to compromise on - it is an essential part of living a fulfilling life.
And personally, I think that is pretty awesome.

Yeah, me too. This self growth trend is really inspiring to observe.
