CHARACTER MATTERS
"Successful leadership is not about being tough or soft, sensitive or assertive, but about a set of attributes. First and foremost is character”

In looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if they don't have the first, the other two will kill you."
Warren Buffet, CEO, Berkshire Hathaway
