“H. Ross Perot once said “Bad news doesn’t improve with age.””

“H. Ross Perot once said “Bad news doesn’t improve with age.””
When Leadership is done well, it produces great projects, great companies, great families, great communities, and even great
nations. Every group, regardless of size, needs Leadership. H. Ross Perot built EDS, an incredible IT services company, which I worked for before it was acquired by HP. EDS did not become that way without great leadership. The foundation of Perot’s leadership is one of the simplest and most profound resources I have ever seen. He called it the “Grassroots Wisdoms”
When I argue with reality, I lose—but only 100% of the time.
In Leadership, the ends do not always justify the means. If you kill your team to achieve a short-term outcome, people will remember and associate you with pain.
