I happen to agree 100% with this quote...
How true! And the ironic thing is that Giuliani, Romney, and Huckabee know it also. They have considerable leadership experience but were leading to the Left.
“Asked about his lack of executive experience that Giuliani had as a mayor or Romney had as a governor, (Fred) said, “Management’s important, but leadership is more important. Managers are people who leaders hire.”
Friggin PERFECT!!
This man is a fresh breath of oxygen in a sea of putrid deceit!
LLS
Managers are people who leaders hire."
Ronald Reagan proved that quite well.
>>>”Management’s important, but leadership is more important. Managers are people who leaders hire.”<<<
Spoken by a man who has never led a day in his life.
Trial lawyer? Lacky.
Lobbyist? Hired help.
Actor? Impersonator.
Senator? You’re kidding, right?
And really, my statement is aimed more at the ignorance of Thompson’s statement than his career accomplishments.
It’s really easy when you’ve been nothing but hired help to criticize business executives, founders, and owners as not being leaders.
The day that Fred Thompson is the founder of his own (SUCCESSFUL) firm or business entering relatively uncharted waters (as Romney did), he’s earned the right to even begin making that statement. Until then, that drivel ruined what was a pretty good commentary on his behalf.
Business leaders built this nation from an unpopulated backwater into the largest economic power in the world. Romney took his idea and founded what became an extremely successful enterprise. He built it. He used his skills to build corporations. If that’s not leadership, I don’t know what is.
Check it, Mittwitt.
Precious Willard’s greatest success story is sinking the MA GOP into the deepest darkest reaches of the Atlantic. That’s all she wrote.
No rewards for being the worst RINO Governor in the United States in the past 4 years.

You can’t even think rationally, much less objectively.
If you don’t like what I said, refute it or argue against it. That seems to be a concept wholly lost on you. Instead, you respond with the equivalent of “poopoohead.” As to how you think that convinces anyone of anything, I’m clueless.
Have you ever owned a business? Did you ever take your ideas, act on them, unite others around you, and create a success out of it?
Well, be fair. No RINO Governor has been worse in the last four years then Bob Taft of Ohio.
How many Republicans did Precious Willard help elect in MA ? List them. Start with the Governorship.
Boob Taft was awful, but there was still a GOP left in Ohio when he exited office. Precious Willard tossed the dirt onto the casket of the MA GOP’s corpse that he buried... and now he wants a promotion for his reign of destruction. I’m surprised Taft hasn’t come looking for a promotion, too. He’d be perfect on a ticket with Romney. The RINO Titanic ticket.
That's a great answer!
As for you, that quotation is accurate and judging by your rush to belittle other occupations I would say it hit the mark.
Managers have their strengths but in the end it’s not their butt in huge financial debt that needs to succeed or will drown. Mitt did a good job managing the Olympics. His role at leadership came as Governor, and I’d hardly say he left the GOP there in good shape. he got himself elected then bailed. So he managed his own interests well, but did a lousy job of leading a resurgence of the party in kennedy’s backyard.
I don’t know that Fred has a lot of high profile examples of leadership either, but I am pretty certain he didn’t leave the Tenn GOP in a shambles.
Well, it would be a good statement if..
...Thompson had actually led anything. He hasn’t.
Or if Romney didn’t found his own firm. He did.
