Don't necessarily avoid sharp edges. Occasionally they are necessary to leadership.

I'm glad you asked. It has nothing to do with oil, literally nothing to do with oil.

You will launch many projects, but have time to finish only a few. So think, plan, develop, launch and tap good people to be responsible. Give them authority and hold them accountable. Trying to do too much yourself creates a bottleneck.

If you develop rules, never have more than ten.

First rule of politics: you can't win unless you're on the ballot. Second rule: If you run, you may lose. And, if you tie, you do not win.

I think it's very useful for you folks (reporters) to try your damndest to be precise. And don't repeat things that are inaccurate if you can possibly avoid it. And when you see things that are inaccurate, knock them down -- because there's a bucket of it floating around.

The worst mistake is to have the best ladder and the wrong wall.
