You have a responsibility to manage yourself. Sometimes people say, “Well, my boss is grumpy and cranky and doesn’t really appreciate me.” One of the key ideas is people don’t leave companies; they leave the people they worked with. You’ve heard that before; that’s not my idea, that’s out there. But the point on Leader Lead Thyself is, you’re responsible for managing your Mindset, your Heartset, your Healthset, your Soulset. Every time you blame your boss, or your husband or your wife, your past or your children, the economy or your nationality, you’re giving away your power to be the change you want to see, to use the words of Mahatma Gandhi.
