As today is President’s Day (spelled President’s if you’re a traditionalist and believe it’s a day to remember George Washington’s and Abraham Lincoln’s births) or Presidents’ Day (as a non-traditionalist, like me, to celebrate all presidents), I thought I’d share one of my favorite quotes by President Theodore Roosevelt.

“The best executive is one who has sense enough to pick good people to do what he wants done, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it.”

While President’s/Presidents’ Day is typically to celebrate the leaders of our great nation, I encourage you company presidents and CEOs to reflect on your own presidencies today.

“Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company.”

-George Washington
