More From Donald Rumsfeld
- "Many people around the President have sizeable egos before entering government, some with good reason. Their new positions will do little to moderate their egos."
- "Don’t necessarily avoid sharp edges. Occasionally they are necessary to leadership."
- "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."
