I believe that no man who holds a leader's position should ever accept favors from either side. He is then committed to show favors. A leader must stand alone.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We secure our friends not by accepting favors but by doing them.
In the past a leader was a boss. Today's leaders must be partners with their people... they no longer can lead solely based on positional power.
To be a leader of men one must turn one's back on men.
A good leader must be fair.
Like a good parent can't also be his child's best friend, a leader with authority requires some separation from subordinates.
If you are in a position to influence someone, you are a leader.
There comes a point when a man must refuse to answer to his leader if he is also to answer to his own conscience.
All leaders share something in common. They feel they are the only ones who can do the job.
I'm wondering how many elected figures any of us could find who do not, in the front or back of their minds, remember who does them favors, who doesn't.
The person who receives the most favors is the one who knows how to return them.
