I was working with a number of African heads of state. And after their initial surprise, I think many of them just treated me as they would anybody else.

If you're trying to get something done, there will always be people who don't want to see you get something done, or who have a stake in the status quo. And if they approach that through ad hominem criticism of you, you've got to have enough confidence and thickness of skin to be able to endure.

I'm apologetic when I feel like I've made a mistake. And when I have done a disservice to myself or someone else. But I don't feel a need to apologize for doing or saying something that I think needs to be said, just because it may not sit comfortably with somebody else.

What I learned is that policymakers have to force consideration of actions that may not have occurred to them at the time.
