I happen to agree 100% with this quote...
“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!!
>>>”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.
That's a great answer!
I read that and knew that I had to change my tag...
All Thompson’s justifications here amount to nothing more than an excuse for his laziness.
