Understanding Leaders

"If I come into a meeting room unannounced and someone is doing an impersonation of me and they're saying, 'Oh, he's going to do this, he's going to say this,' that's a positive thing. It says they understand my values. They know what I like and what I don't like. It means I don't have to be there everyday. I've exported my value set."
