Make your presence improve the environment.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

You change a room whether or not you intend to. Your attention, tone, and standard all set something that others adjust to, and the effect is largest with the people who have the least power. Most of that influence is exercised without any awareness of it.
