Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.
I admire men of character and I judge character not by how men deal with their superiors, but mostly how they deal with their subordinates. And that, to me, is where you find out what the character of a man is.
Ninety-nine percent of leadership failures are failures of character.
Leadership consists of character and strategy. If you can't have both, opt for character.
