Great leaders don't rush to blame. They instinctively look for solutions.

The great leaders have always stage-managed their effects.

Great companies in the way they work, start with great leaders.

Throughout history, great leaders have known the power of humor.

The pact creating a North American free-trade zone was President Bill Clinton's signature accomplishment; but NAFTA is also the bugaboo of union leaders, grassroots activists and Midwesterners who blame free trade for the factory closings they see in their hometowns.

Great leaders are willing to sacrifice the numbers to save the people. Poor leaders sacrifice the people to save the numbers.
