Leadership in a nutshell: Politician vs. Statesman
by Miki Saxon
Politicians talk it — Statesmen walk it
Politicians run to win — Statesmen run to serve
Politicians are ideologues — Statesmen are open-minded
Politicians, “it’s all about me” — Statesmen, “it’s all about them”
Politicians focus on the next election — Statesmen focus on the future

Statesmen do – Politicians shouldn’t
A Statesman leads from in front of the people – A politician tries to influence and pander behind-the-scenes
Statesmen do what’s right and correct – Politicians do what is expediant and popular
Those who can’t commit, committie
