Is it possible that you would be a better person, a better leader, if you had full control over the variables affecting your life? Unfortunately, things like the economy, the weather, traffic remain beyond your ability to change. But you do have control over one important thing: how you respond and react to the stimulus from another human being. Regaining control of this element of your life will make you a better leader in our frenetic world.
