One of the most important (and often undervalued, or at least taken for granted) measures of leadership excellence is the people you hire. Strong hiring decisions come from leaders with good instincts and the self-confidence to surround yourself with the best team.

And- just think- almost 7 years now, with unprecedented, daily opposition by small-minded (OK, and also racist) people and NO SCANDALS in this administration.

I'm going to miss this White House.
