No Problem Is So Deep That It Cannot Be Overcome, Given The Will Of All Parties, Through Discussion And Negotiation Rather Than Force And Violence.

I Like A Leader Who Can, While Pointing Out A Mistake, Bring Up The Good Things The Other Person Has Done. If You Do That, Then The Person Sees That You Have A Complete Picture Of Him. There Is Nobody More Dangerous Than One Who Has Been Humiliated, Even When You Humiliate Him Rightly.

As A Leader... I Have Always Endeavored To Listen To What Each And Every Person In A Discussion Had To Say Before Venturing My Own Opinion. Oftentimes, My Own Opinion Will Simply Represent A Consensus Of What I Heard In The Discussion. I Always Remember The Axiom; A Leader Is Like A Shepherd. He Stays Behind The Flock, Letting The Most Nimble Go Out Ahead, Whereupon The Others Follow, Not Realizing That All Along They Are Being Directed From Behind.
