“He (Patton) was tough. War is tough. Leaders have to be tough.”
Alan Axelrod: Patton On Leadership, p. xi.
Contexto: He (Patton) was tough. War is tough. Leaders have to be tough. He drove his army hard, yes, and he made many enemies among colleagues and subordinates, but he also produced results. He was indeed arrogant, but sometimes a good leader has to be larger than life. … But the fact is: again typically, Patton's admirers are no more specific in their praise than are his disparagers in their criticism.
