 The Manager task
Case I

If you have ever tempted to look for outside approval, realize that you
have compromised your own integrity. If you need a witness, be your
own.
- Epictetus
Happiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding of one
principle. Some things are within your control. And some things are not.
-Epictetus
The most important thing is not being right but understanding the perfectible
actions that make you feel you are doing things right. Preserving the dignity of
the people and being fair is the best way to manage organizations and to face
uncertainty, failure and success.
