“It’s not enough to be busy; so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about?” – Henry David Thoreau. Miguel had an enormous list of tasks on his to-do list. He’d been working to increase his responsibilities to prove he could handle a leadership role, but now he was having a hard time keeping up with it all. He found himself coming in early and working through lunch in an effort to make it look like he had it all together.

So far, the most you've accomplished is whittling your inbox down to less than 300 unanswered emails and finally removed the rotting coffee grounds from your coffee cup.

But I wonder if you know the incredible lengths a company will go to attract and keep a woman who has reached a top position.

I think people use far too many impersonal and generic words to describe things that are actually very meaningful and important to them personally.

As human beings, we tend to focus more on the physical and material aspects of life than spiritual issues. We are so engrossed in the former that we barely find the time to think about the latter. But it is essential to know that we can only find unconditional happiness and peace if we enrich our inner spiritual lives. Similarly, we rarely pay heed to spirituality at work, neglecting it, and giving little or no importance to finding meaning at work.

Potter died in 1985, but I came across a quote from him that I thought would be beneficial when writing about becoming a better leader in the workplace.
