All these people have their own list of priorities. We need to build our influence so that we are also in their priorities. Many managers focus on other people’s failure to follow rather than on their failure to influence and so excuse their ineffectiveness as an influencer.

      I was raised to follow the Golden Rule, you know, treat people the way you wish to be treated. That's kind of the way I live my life. Maybe someone up there likes me for that. - Matt LeBlanc
