Before You Can Tell Someone Else What To Do . . .


"The first and best victory is to conquer self."

Plato

Particularly for a manager of people, money or things.

Self-discipline.

If you don't have it, someone will impose it on you.

  1. Now that I think about it, it really is easier to tell someone else what to do than it is for me to tell me. Human nature I suppose.

  2. I mostly agree but not that others will impose self-discipline on you if you don't do it yourself. There are too many managerial babies out there for that to be true.
