"Here is the very heart and soul of the matter of leadership. If I look to lead, invest at least 50% of my time (attention) managing myself - my ethics, character, principle, purpose, motivation, and conduct. Invest at least 20% managing those with authority over me, and 15% managing my peers. Use the remainder to induce thoseI 'work for' to understand and practice the theory. Use the terms 'work for' advisedly, for if I don't understand that I should be working for my mislabeled 'subordinates' I haven't understood anything. Lead from my soul and I and free people to do the same. All else is trivial."
