The Essence Of Leadership Is Building Bonds

It Takes More Courage To Send Men Into Battle Than To Fight The Battle Yourself.

I Worked With The Nato Military Committee. The Head Of The Luxembourg Armed Forces Had Equal Standing With Me, And I Had To Respect That. He Was The Leader Of The Armed Forces Of A Sovereign Country. I Had To Make Sure He Never Thought That I Was Looking Down On Them, Merely Because They Had Less Power Than We Did. With That Kind Of Approach You Can Develop Bonds Of Trust. I Tried To Do The Same Thing With My Colleagues When I Was Secretary Of State.

Leaders Honor Their Core Values, But They Are Flexible In How They Execute Them.

The Media Only Report Stupid Or Careless Answers, Not Stupid Or Unfair Questions.

I Think Leadership Is Both A Trained Thing And A Natural Gift.
