From the Be a Better Manager: Managing Yourself section of our Quote Library…
Loving who we are is an important part of being a better manager.
Not loving ourselves in a way that makes us think we are perfect and better than anyone else. Not loving ourselves in a way that keeps us from making efforts to improve. But loving ourselves in a way that helps us drop walls and anger and defensiveness.
It can be a huge morale and productivity boost for each of us and everyone who works with us.
