"We live in a cacophonous age, swarming insects of noise and interruption buzzing about - emails, text messages, cable news, advertisements, cell phones, meetings, wireless web connections, social media posts....If leadership begins not with what you do but with what you are, then when and how do you escape the noise to find your purpose and summon the strength to pursue it?...leaders can - indeed must - be disciplined people who create the quiet space for disciplined thought and summon the strength for disciplined action. It is a message needed now more than ever, else we run the risk of waking up at the end of the year having accomplished little of significance, each year slipping by in a flurry of activity pointing nowhere."
Jim Collins
