I suggest that it is a matter of maturity. A mature person is civil in discourse and courteous. One can be resolute and decisive and still be courteous and considerate. A civil person is respected and respect is the first requirement for effective leadership. I do not unietesrdmate this however. It can be difficult to maintain civility in great controversy and a decisive and resolute leader must do so. Dan MurphyOcena: 2/5
