Leadership Summit - Condoleeza Rice

The best thing you can do for a person is to give them control of their own person--to give them an education.


The most important characteristic of a leader is that they are irrepressible optimists.


If you focus on today's headline and forget history's judgment, you will accomplish nothing.


After Friday, there would be Sunday!




Somehow things that seemed impossible, seem inevitable--in retrospect.



"When things are tough, people become more of who they are."


Things to remember when you are working for the president:

   * Recognize that he is still the president, so it matters more what he thinks.


   * Use the relationship to be a truth-teller.

       * always do it in private


   * Remember that your friendship creates the trust for all of this.
