Leadership..

Gen. Douglas MacArthur

"A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent."
"Never give an order that can't be obeyed."
"There is no security on this earth, there is only opportunity."

Gen. and President Dwight Eisenhower

"Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it."
"You don't lead by hitting people over the head--that's assault, not leadership."
"We succeed only as we identify in life, or in war, or in anything else, a single overriding objective, and make all other considerations bend to that one objective."
