The way an entrepreneur manages themselves directly reflects in how they lead their team and their company. Disorganized routines, lack of clarity in decision-making, and neglect of personal development impact business performance, affecting everything from productivity to team motivation. On the other hand, leaders who invest in their own physical and mental balance create a more structured environment, increase their leadership capacity, and make more assertive decisions.
ToMarcus Marques, business management specialist and founder ofAccelerator GroupThe quality of leadership is directly linked to an entrepreneur's ability to self-manage. "Managing a company reflects how the entrepreneur takes care of themselves. If they are not clear about their goals, do not maintain healthy habits, and do not invest in their own growth, they will hardly be able to lead their team effectively and inspire results," he points out.
The concept of self-management goes beyond organizing routines: it involves emotional intelligence, resilience, and continuous updating. Studies published in the Harvard Business Review indicate that leaders who invest in self-awareness and well-being are more productive, make better decisions, and create healthier work environments. "The manager's mindset shapes the company's culture and directly impacts how the team behaves," he states.
The impact of personal balance on business management
An entrepreneur's routine is marked by constant challenges, and the way they handle them determines the direction of the business. "When a leader is overwhelmed, lacking energy or purpose, their company feels the effects of this instability. Investing in well-being and leadership development is not a luxury, but a competitive advantage," he states.
Marques highlights that practices such as self-awareness, organizing routines, and seeking learning are fundamental for efficient management. "Successful companies are not built solely on processes and strategies. They are driven by disciplined leaders prepared to face challenges. Anyone wanting a prosperous business needs to start by investing in themselves," emphasizes the expert.
In addition to the direct impact on productivity and organizational culture, self-management also strengthens the entrepreneur's resilience in the face of crises and uncertainties. In a market scenario where decisions need to be made quickly and accurately, emotional balance and clarity of purpose make all the difference. "Leaders who take care of their physical and mental health, constantly update themselves, and maintain a lifestyle aligned with their values tend to build stronger businesses prepared for the future," he concludes.
