Quote
All the time we can choose how we feel: we can feel good or bad about what is happening around us. That is our choice: it is not a requirement of the job....You can always find smart people to do the intellectual heavy lifting, but you cannot delegate away your temperament and style. No one wants moody, sulky, angry, cynical and frustrated leaders...If you can master the elusive art of being responsible for your own feelings, you cannot only lead better, you can live better.
