"Frank's skill in asking the right questions is un-mistakable, and is at the core of his leadership philosophy.

The power of these questions cannot be underestimated, especially if you want to lead and not manage."

Winners Never Quit.

Or Do They?

If you have followed the last apprentice, you know about Michelle how quit in the boardroom. Mr. Trump had harsh words for Michelle and in the mind of many told her that she is a looser—because she quit.

Michelle on the other hand states in her blog how that experience has changed and improved her life.
Back in the early 1990s, Donald J. Trump stirred up a big controversy in Phoenix, Arizona. He wanted to build a luxury high-rise residential building on Camelback Road between 24th and 32nd Streets - one of the most sought-after locations in Phoenix.
The problem was, Donald wanted to put up the tallest building in the city, and there were height restrictions. A controversy about the building raged for several years. Then in 1995, residents of the area voted that he would not be allowed to build his building.
To the astonishment of many people, Donald simply pulled out and did not pursue the matter further.
Since Mr. Trump worked on a bigger project in Dubai—he wasn’t upset about Phoenix.

If Michelle’s decision was quitting—how come that Mr. Trump’s wasn’t?
