Do you try to understand others before trying to have them understand you? This question is essential to becoming an effective leader. Mark Albion’s blog series explores the impact our relationship with our father has on how we build our business and life. Each post has a serial and commentary portion. It is hoped that readers will add their own commentary and discuss in the comments.
The author of this post, Mark Albion, a conflicted achiever who climbed the ladder of success wrong by wrong, is the New York Times Best Selling author of seven books. He has ridden a horse across Afghanistan and been hugged by Mother Teresa and Ronald Reagan—not at the same time.
There are two kinds of people in the world –
those who walk into a room and say ‘Here I am’
and those who say ‘There you are’.
– Abigail Van Buren, Dear Abby columnist
