It takes more courage to send men into battle than to fight the battle yourself.

Have a sense of humor to break the tension in times of great toil.

I think leadership is both a trained thing and a natural gift.

My own experience is use the tools that are out there. Use the digital world. But never lose sight of the need to reach out and talk to other people who don't share your view. Listen to them and see if you can find a way to compromise.

I think that military, corporate, and non-political organizations are pretty much similar.

The most important thing I learned is that soldiers watch what their leaders do. You can give them classes and lecture them forever, but it is your personal example they will follow.

The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them.
