Integrity, Character, Men

Character in many ways is everything in leadership. It is made up of many things, but I would say character is really integrity.

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.
