Past leaders chose deregulated globalization. They said it would be happy; it turned out to be atrocious.
I know there is a bounty on my head, such as there is with many other leaders and protesters.
Put your leaders in stressful scenarios. Make them figure out solutions under pressure. See if you can make them frustrated, angry, and flustered, and then demand decisive leadership from them. They will be challenged at first, but they will get better over time.

Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.
America is a country that prides itself on being able to identify a 'straight shooter' or 'the genuine article' when it comes to our leaders. As a nation, we can 'feel it in our gut' when someone is giving us a bum steer.

We can score political points. We can try to advance some important initiatives.

I think that ego-driven leaders will be a thing of the past because the masses are tired.
Joseph Warren, like a lot of revolutionary leaders, was into Enlightenment literature.

All companies of any size have to continue to push to make sure you get the right leaders, the right team, the right people to be fast acting, and fast moving in the marketplace. We've got great leaders, and we continue to attract and promote great new leaders.
Treating people fairly and with civility is not a bad thing... It would be good for our country if political leaders actually took that to heart.
President Bush spent last night calling world leaders to support the war with Iraq and it is sad when the most powerful man on earth is yelling, 'I know you're there, pick up, pick up.
