What we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do. There are people we trust because we know their character. Whether they're eloquent or not, whether they have human-relations techniques or not, we trust them and work with them.

Want balance in your life? Then sure, get your own act together, but don't forget four powerful disciplines of execution in your team and organization.
