Bad news isnt wine. It doesnt improve with age. – Colin Powell
In other words, dont expect to always be great. Disappointments, failures and setbacks are a normal part of the lifecycle of a unit or a company and what the leader has to do is constantly be up and say we have a problem, lets go and get it. – Colin Powell
War should be the politics of last resort. And when we go to war, we should have a purpose that our people understand and support. – Colin Powell
Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership. – Colin Powell
