Everyone has some level of capacity to add value. This human capacity is usually divided among all of the demands on our attention. A small amount is used to deal with outside stuff, like taking care of family and relationship stuff. There is a portion of human capacity used for work. That is the part on which most managers focus. But there is a part of human capacity that is used (mostly under used) by other components that can create more significant results than any other, that is the hearts and minds of others. No one should expect to tap into all of it, but this is the area where leaders focus.
