Two types of leaders: Operators and Engineers. Every leader is a blend of both, and execute the organizations tasks as a group.
Operators run the big picture in the organization, and connect complex problems into an efficient and executable solution. Their main jobs are to innovate and to simplify.
Engineers are the backbone of the organization. They’re in charge of the subtle, hands-on jobs that keep the foundation strong and performing smoothly.
This is another quote is from Senecas book. In order to be good at our job, we must reference our actions to someone great that we admirer.
“We need to set our affections on some good man and keep him constantly before our eyes, so that we may live as if he were watching us and do everything as if she saw what we were doing.” -Epicurus
