The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Criticism has no right to reign.
We do so much better when we avoid the "Negative Society"

Willpower, like any other good habit, demands much energy. So, we must use it wisely and regularly. We must drain it, rebuild it, and strengthen it.
Willpower [and its outcome, self-control]: you must use it or you will not have it.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Sometimes they replace combative ways with kindness; sometimes they replace softer ways with assertiveness.
Other times they improve their voice, vocabulary, and body language to improve their communication style...adding clarity and power to it.
Great leaders are attuned to their habits, both the good ones and the bad ones. They choose to replace their bad habits with new things - adding good habits, habits proven to deliver positive results.
Beyond everything else, the greatest leaders are masters of self-awareness and self-control.
And they know leadership is an ongoing series of thought-and-action choices. So they define thought-and-action boundaries for themselves and they work continuously at living within those thought-and-action boundaries.
