"Manage yourself first and others will take your orders"

This quote by David Seabury encourages us to take obligation for our own actions and behaviour prior to attempting to handle or lead others. It recommends that if we have the ability to handle ourselves effectively, others will be most likely to take our orders and follow our lead. This is since when we demonstrate self-control and discipline, it sets an example for others to follow. It also indicates that if we are unable to manage ourselves, it will be tough to handle or lead others. For that reason, it is necessary to make the effort to reflect on our own behaviour and ensure that we are setting a fine example for others to follow. By doing this, we can create an environment of trust and regard, which will make it simpler to lead and handle others.
