It's not just Bin Laden or just those that are involved in the counterterrorism effort. We've gotta cast the net broader than that.

I think it is an immutable law in business that words are words explanations are explanations promises are promises - but only performance is reality.

The true measure of the value of any business leader and manager is performance.

All the best performers bring to their role something more something different than what the author put on paper. That's what makes theatre live. That's why it persists.
