we should learn to recognize when you have outrun your abilities. we can fall back on the
leadership qualities that you have learned previously to take yourself to the next level in managing
yourself and others. If we open ourself to being transformed we can effectively listen to
others thereby, letting go old notions of leadership. When we cultivate a sense of self-awareness
we can understand what works for you better in a hardcore professional world. The easiest
way to manage our self is to be flexible enough to adapt with changes, people's mindset and stress factors.
