An executive is a person who always decides; sometimes he decides correctly, but he always decides.

About This Quote

This quote, saying that a leader can never decide on his own what is right or wrong, is a very apt one. If an executive has to always go with his decision that might not always be the right decision. A politician is someone who does not make those decisions but they still lead the country and do what they think is best for the people.
