“Nothing will make a better impression on your leader than your ability to manage yourself. If your leader must continually expend energy managing you, then you will be perceived as someone who drains time and energy.

That will make you someone your leader turns to when the heat is on.”

Don’t live—you might die. I would like to add one more thought to this depressing list: Don’t change—you might grow.”
