Well, When You Come Down To It,

Character In Many Ways Is Everything In Leadership. It Is Made Up Of Many Things, But I Would Say Character Is Really Integrity. When You Delegate Something To A Subordinate, For Example, It Is Absolutely Your Responsibility, And He Must Understand This. You As A Leader Must Take Complete Responsibility For What The Subordinate Does. I Once Said, As A Sort Of Wisecrack, That Leadership Consists Of Nothing But Taking Responsibility For Everything That Goes Wrong And Giving Your Subordinates Credit For Everything That Goes Well.

That Was Not The Biggest Battle That Ever Was, But For Me It Always Typified One Thing; The Dash, The Ingenuity, The Readiness At The First Opportunity That Characterizes The American Soldier.

A Sense Of Humor Is Part Of The Art Of Leadership, Of Getting Along With People, Of Getting Things Done.

When You Are In Any Contest, You Should Work As If There Were - To The Very Last Minute - A Chance To Lose It. This Is Battle, This Is Politics, This Is Anything.

Our Pleasures Were Simple - They Included Survival.
