I often see this in my training classes. Powerful assistants self-manage. Self-management is being very aware of your feeling, emotions, attitudes and knowing how you tend to respond to things. In what ways can you manage your thoughts, especially when you feel upset or work is chaotic? Don’t be a surface thinker.
