Your performance depends on your people. Select the best, train them and back them. When errors occur, give sharper guidance. If errors persist or if the fit feels wrong, help them move on. The country cannot afford amateur hour in the White House. – Donald Rumsfeld
Presidential leadership neednt always cost money. Look for low- and no-cost options. They can be surprisingly effective. – Donald Rumsfeld
