Words for Leaders

Growing up during the centennial of the Civil War I have had a life long fascination with the history of that great conflict. When I became a manager I studied the leadership styles of the generals and political leaders on both sides.

After years of fruitless struggle U. S. Grant took command and brought the war to a conclusion. Grant was not considered the smartest, best educated or most experienced general but he had one salient quality--He was totally focused on defeating his opponent and refused to retreat. When his predecessors were defeated by Robert E. Lee, they would turn back to lick their wounds and regroup. Grant continued to push forward until he ultimately won the war. Here is a quote from the general that expresses his philosophy:

"The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is, get at him as soon as you can, strike him as hard as you can and keep moving on."

Make A Difference!
