Identify Experience and Learn to Manage Oneself

According to one of Harvard’s Top 10 articles from the last century, “Managing Oneself,” written by the late Peter F. Drucker: 

“Success in the knowledge economy comes to those who know themselves – their strengths, their values and how they best perform.  History’s Great Achiever’s – A Napoleon, a daVinci, a Mozart – have always managed themselves.  That, in large measure, is what makes them great achievers. But they are rare exceptions, so unusual both in their talents and their accomplishments as to be considered outside the boundaries of ordinary human existence.  Now, most of us, even those of us with modest endowments, will have to learn to manage ourselves.”

Do people really change or is it that people, having been diverted in life, simply remember who they once were or who they were really supposed to be?  As a coach, I have often pondered this question, introspectively and with colleagues, clients, friends and family.
