When you think about leadership and we talk about forming things, building things, empowering people, there's a lot of common catchphrases and common thoughts that occur to you.

One of the things you've touched on already foundationally is all of this is about understanding yourself.
11:53
understanding your personal needs, understanding what drives you, what makes you happy, what makes you sad, what motivates you.

And being honest with yourself about that, reassessing and changing, shifting here and there, enables you then to apply that knowledge to how people react to you or how people react to situations.
