“You've got to be competent in what you're doing and you've got to communicate it properly. You have to have courage to step up and stand out. A lot of leadership is about getting out in front and staying out in front and taking the shots that are going to come your way. I think West Point and the military does a very good job of exposing younger people to that fact and they hand you a lot of responsibility early on and make you accountable. It stands you in good stead for a business career as well.” — Bill Murdy
