Managing Me

The key to managing other people is learning how to manage you.

When problems arise at work, he can choose to react with either impulse or reason. As each situation plays out, the better reaction is clear. Viewers recognize that how you react often has a far greater impact—on morale, on retention, on productivity—than any specific problem ever could. The key to managing other people is learning how to manage you.
