Leaders

Gen. George Patton

"Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity."
"Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader."
"A leader is a man who can adapt principles to circumstances."
"If everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking."

Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf

"Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy."

Gen. Colin Powell

"Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand."
"Experts often possess more data than judgement."
