Tiger Woods

'I stopped living by the core values that I was taught to believe in....... I've had a lot of time to think about what I've done. My failures have made me look at myself in a way I never wanted to before. It's now up to me to make amends, and that starts by never repeating the mistakes I've made. It's up to me to start living a life of integrity. I once heard, and I believe it's true, it's not what you achieve in life that matters; it's what you overcome. Achievements on the golf course are only part of setting an example. Character and decency are what really count.' 
Tiger Woods, 19 February 2010

Role Models for a Leader

During his stint as commanding general of the multi-national force in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus took "enormous strength" from the experiences of Ulysses Grant at Shiloh. Petraeus also commended former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani's advice to attend to problems when they first crop up, and businessman Jack Welch's views on subordinate leader development. However, for the military, "this is also about life and death," Petraeus said, causing him to place a premium on leadership qualities such as integrity.
