In this brief segment, the speaker introduces a three‑dial metaphor—akin to a music mixing deck or graphic equalizer—to illustrate the three core activities of a leader: doing, managing, and leading. He observes that many new leaders keep the 'doing' and 'managing' dials turned up to the maximum while the 'leading' dial remains barely touched. The speaker frames this imbalance as understandable rather than judgmental, setting the stage for a discussion on how leaders can shift attention toward the neglected leading function.
