John Browne Explains the Great Game
by Anthony Wile, The Daily Bell:
Daily Bell: Are you an optimist or pessimist during these fraught times?
John Browne: I find it very hard not to be a pessimist at a time when we’re completely lacking in leadership and our managers, as opposed to leaders, are taking us along easy and wrong directions, as opposed to leaders, who take us in hard or difficult but correct directions. So if you’re going in the wrong direction ever faster and pushing all the liabilities for that wrong direction onto future generations of children and grandchildren I find it very difficult to be anything but pessimistic.
The leadership of the caliber of people like Winston Churchill, Roosevelt and, more recently, Margaret Thatcher and President Reagan, is sadly lacking today. These people took us on difficult roads but we were achieving things and getting greater all the time. Now we’re going on the easy route. It’s like a diet. It’s easy to go into the sweets shop and eat lots of crèmes and sweets and stuff like that. The difficulty is to get on the track machine and get the running shoes on and eat properly.
