Sometimes it pays to reveal your emotions. I remember the day my boss called me into his office and asked me to address an angry complaint from one of our largest customers. While he visibly kept his cool as he explained the customer’s concerns, I could tell that the customer’s phone call had deeply upset him. After a brief chat, I left his office to deal with the situation, casually saying, “I’m sorry you had to field such an upsetting call first thing in the morning.” He actually snapped at me. “I am not upset!” That reaction dropped my trust in him a few notches. If he couldn’t own up to his true feelings, what else might he be trying to hide?

Over the past ten years I have earned a reputation for obtaining rapid growth, and I’m often asked how I’ve managed to be the driving force behind so many business successes.

Dr. Sherrie Campbell, Author, Loving Yourself: The Mastery of Being Your Own Person

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.
