Being responsible

From Danilo’s blog:

ÒAs soon as I put a man in command of the army, they all wanted ME
to be the general. Now it isnÕt so with Grant. He hasnÕt told me what
his plans are. I donÕt know and I donÕt want to know. I am glad to find
a man who can go ahead without me. He doesnÕt ask impossibilities of
me, and heÕs the first general IÕve had that didnÕt.Ó

Ð Abraham Lincoln, upon appointing Grant to overall command of the Union Army

That’s exactly what I look for, the kind of person that has initiative and is responsible, and can handle things by himself.

  1. it’s always nice to have people that you can trust will take care of things when you are not there.
    There’s nothing more annoying the “I didn’t do anything beacuse you didn’t tell me to”
