"In politics . . . never retreat, never retract . . . never admit a mistake."
Napoleon Bonaparte
18th century French General
On this election day in the US I thought it appropriate to include a political quote, one I believe with a message to business people as well.
However not sure this is the best advice in that Napoleon died three years after being imprisoned and exiled to the island of Saint Helena in the Atlantic Ocean, 2,000 KM from any land mass, for what even he recognized as his intractable leadership style.
Memo to US politicians: Take heed, there's room on the boat.
As you've pointed out before, this is wrong for a number of reasons. One, the idea is wrong, and two, even more so because it is based on an absolute ("never").
ReplyDeleteGood catch Wendy. Absolutely, never . . . (whoops!)
