There Is No International Problem That Can

If Possible, To Be In A Position To Announce Who Is Going To Step In As The Interim Immediately. And If Possible, To Announce Who You're Going To Nominate To Replace That Person. For That To Be Somebody Of Impeccable Integrity And Reputation Disarms A Lot Of The Worst Criticism That It's Some Kind Of A Power Play. It's A Professional Approach To Replacing A Senior Official, Which Is Always Going To Get A Lot Of Attention.

Most Governments Lie To Each Other. That's The Way Business Gets Done.

Well, I've Ruffled A Few Feathers At All The Institutions I've Led. But I Think That's Part Of Leadership.

I Think That Vladimir Putin Is Certainly Getting A Lot Of Publicity For What The Russians Are Doing. And I'm Not Sure That's Unwelcome To Him. I Think This Is A Guy Who Saw The U.s. Basically Come Out Against Him In His Reelection Campaign In 2012. He Saw The U.s. Being Behind All Of The Color Revolutions In Eastern Europe And In Georgia And Ukraine And So On. So His View Is The West Has Been Interfering In His Politics For Years.

I've Seen, All Too Often In My Career, People Coming In To Lead Agencies And Organizations And Trying To Impose Change From The Top Down. Never Works. You Never Have Enough Time.
