Quoted: Charles O. Jones, a professor emeritus of political science at the University of Wisconsin, put it this way: â??Dick Neustadt, the greatest of presidential scholars and now deceased, had a principal rule: always be attentive, in making a decision, to the effects of that decision on your prospects for future power. The point being that if you are going to set a deadline then youâ??d better meet it. Otherwise, the judgment will be that you made a mistake.â?
