"The public image of [[Dwight Eisenhower]] is of the man playing golf. In reality, he was not someone who ever slacked off, but **the leisure time he did have was available because he ran a tight ship**. He knew that urgent and important were not synonyms. **His job was to set the priorities, to think big picture, and then trust the people beneath him to do the jobs they were hired for**."
