"Walking Point"

"Walking point in the corner office rquires a toughness of soul, the ability to put one's feelings aside, and the force of personality to sneer at one's fears."

"Executive Courage is an element of senior leadership that permits one to accept measured and calculated risk, make unpopular decisions, challenge the odds, ignore the naysayers, and weather and respond to the fallout when a decision fails to produce the desired results."

These quotes are from Section 1 of "Executive Courage - Sometimes You Have to Walk Point."
