Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.

The most effective means of ensuring the government's accountability to the people is an aggressive, free, challenging, untrusting press.

We know that Saddam Hussein is determined to keep his weapons of mass destruction, is determined to make more.

I think you can improve on that natural ability with training and exposure to great leaders of the past and to management theories.

The essence of leadership is building bonds of trust in your organization.

The freedom to do your best means nothing unless you are willing to do your best.

Even the greatest of all strategists must occasionally take into account the presence of an enemy.
