Dwight D Eisenhower
Eisenhower's fame spread far and wide. My family has a friend in Singapore named Eisen by his father who admired Eisenhower. That is what prompted me to start looking at Eisenhower.
He lived through two world wars. He said:
"Now I think, speaking roughly, by leadership we mean the art of getting someone else to do something that you want done because he wants to do it."
"In preparing for battle, I have always found that plans are useless but planning is indispensable.

Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower (October 14, 1890 – March 28, 1969), GCB, OM was an American army general who served as the 34th president of the United States from 1953 to 1961. During World War II, he became a five-star general in the Army and served as Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe. He was responsible for planning and supervising the invasion of North Africa in Operation Torch in 1942–43 and the successful invasion of Normandy in 1944–45 from the Western Front.
Eisenhower was born David Dwight Eisenhower, in Texas, but raised, (brought up, as we say in England), in Abilene, Kansas.
If the town of Abilene sounds familiar, maybe you have heard the song:
"Abilene, Abilene, prettiest town I've ever seen, women there don't treat you mean, Abilene, my Abilene."

What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight — it's the size of the fight in the dog.
