Imagination and Resolution - the hallmarks of Sir Winston Churchill's wartime leadership

Jock Colville, Sir Winston Churchill's private secretary said of Great Britain's wartime leader: 'Whatever the PM's shortcomings may be, there is no doubt that he does provide guidance and purpose..... which, without him, would often be lost in the maze of inter-departmentalism or frittered away by caution and compromise. Moreover he has two qualities, imagination and resolution, which are conspicuously lacking among other ministers and among the chiefs of staff.'
