Intellectuals donâ??t make good executives, Woodrow Wilson maintained, unless they take measures to stop their “everlasting disposition to think, to listen â?? and not act.” And so, as president of Princeton University and governor of New Jersey, he had trained himself, when his mind “felt like deciding, to shut it up My decision might be right, it might be wrong. No matter, I would take a chance and do something.”
