Now, politics isn’t business and business isn’t politics.  But this is an incredibly good snapshot of a great leader at work.  And this leader earned his chops as a NOT terrifically successful businessman who learned, got better, and then became a pretty good governor.

Whatever your politics W’s management skills stand up well.  Dedication, humility, self-awareness and attending to and caring for his talent pool.  You can do a lot worse.
