For elite CEO’s the first steps toward true success should be inward.  Proficient CEO’s understand that mastering who they are comes in harnessing their inner-power, instincts and intuition.  Knowing themselves and their emotional patterns indefinitely leads these CEO’s into to the right deals and business ventures. They are aware without self-awareness they will come up against the counterforce of their own out-of-control emotions which will lead to their downfall.  The more self-aware a leader, the better he or she can predict the power of relationships necessary for their success and most importantly, the powers within them to drive their company to achievement.

All this might explain why Congress has just received its all-time lowest approval ratings.
