The boss gets things done The leader convinces them to do them
The total and unconditional mastery of oneself, exercised without any solution of continuity, becomes, in other words, an indispensable condition of being for any leader.
The four foundations of leadership
Competence, knowing what you are talking about
Authority
Those who know how to keep their emotional sphere under control, dominating anxiety-provoking situations, repressing their aggression, diluting, if necessary, their exuberance will acquire authority. A good knowledge of oneself helps to predict, and thus to avoid, disordered reactions.
Example
Others judge us primarily for what we do, not for what we say.

“If you can stay calm when everyone around you
they are losing it and they blame you for it;
if you can trust yourself when everyone doubts you and be indulgent towards those who doubt;
if you can wait and not get tired of it, and keep yourself upright if falsehood surrounds you and don't hate if you are hated, and in spite of this don't appear too good or talk too wise;
if you can dream and not abandon yourself to dreams; if you can think and not get lost in thoughts,
if you can face Triumph and Disaster
and treat these two impostors equally;
if you can hear the truth you have spoken and transformed by the bad to deceive the naive; and see the ideals to which you dedicated your life broken and resist and rebuild with worn-out instructors; if you can make a bundle of all your fortunes
and play them with a head and a tails and lose and start over and never say a word of what you thought; if you can force the heart, nerves, muscles to resist even when they are exhausted,
and so continue until there is nothing in you but the will that says to them: resist; if you can grow in domination and keep yourself honest; or approach the great and do not disdain the humble,
if neither friends nor enemies can hurt you; if you care about everyone, but none too much; if you can fill the inexorable minute with sixty seconds of accomplished works, yours is the world and everything in it and what matters most, you are a man my son. "
