They would rather be provided a guiding light, regardless of the fuel, than light a candle themselves.

When his work is done,
the people say, Amazing:
we did it, all by ourselves!

The one thing I have learned as a CEO is that leadership at various levels is vastly different.

- Maria V Snyder
Europe is difficult to coordinate, and our main deficit may not even lie in this area of finance and economics, but in foreign and security policy.

They would rather be provided a guiding light, regardless of the fuel, than light a candle themselves.

When his work is done,
the people say, Amazing:
we did it, all by ourselves!

- Maria V Snyder
Europe is difficult to coordinate, and our main deficit may not even lie in this area of finance and economics, but in foreign and security policy.
