Global Leadership Summit 2012 (Condoleezza Rice)

Condoleezza Rice, former Secretary of State, spoke briefly at the Leadership Summit this year.  She has a classic rags to riches story that she communicated in a dynamic way.  Here is a link to her facebook page.

"Freedom and democracy are not the same, but are inextricably linked."

"Democracy can not mean the tyranny of the majority."

"If the strong exploit the weak, democracy can't be stable"

"There's a lot a government can do, but it can't deliver compassion."

"Leadership requires irrepressible optimism.  The sources of this optimism include looking at others circumstances.  Out of the struggle often comes victory."

"Today's headlines and histories judgement are rarely the same"

"Stress highlights our failures and our flaws"

She has written several books, most outlining her extraordinary life.
