More on Genius
“Genius always finds itself a century too early.”
“Genius is the capacity of avoiding hard work.”
“One must indeed be ignorant of the methods of genius to suppose that it allows itself to be cramped by forms. Forms are for mediocrity, and it is fortunate that mediocrity can act only according to routine. Ability takes its flight unhindered.”
More on Competence
“Perhaps the most incapable Executive that ever filled the presidential chair...it would be difficult to imagine a man less fit to guide the state with honor and safety through the stormy times that marked the opening of the present century.”
“To be a manager requires more than a title, a big office, and other outward symbols of rank. It requires competence and performance of a high order.”
“There are three qualities a leader must exemplify to build trust: competence, connection, and character.”
