Seth Godin has a different way of looking at yourself:

• “If you had a manager that talked to you the way you talked to you, you’d quit. If you had a boss that wasted as much of your time as you do, they’d fire her. If an organization developed its employees as poorly as you are developing yourself, it would soon go under.”
• The best way to become a better manager at home or at work is to be kind to yourself, invest in your potential and never doubt your confidence.
