I guess I don't think I control the result, but yes the action often lies in my hands. If I don't drink I don't get drunk. If I provide myself with a recovery oreintated atmosphere (for me my spiritual life, AA, Sponsorship, Steps, meetings) I increase the opportunities to be sober.

If I behave disruptively and uncreatively etc. in my work place, I create havoc. If I look for solutions that benifit all - Work becomes a more benificial environment.

I can't MAKE my boss do things, but I can create the atmosphere, provide information, etc. to give her a good environment in which to grow (of course I'm human and want it to be in the direction I want - spiritual manipulation is a problem for me)
