Quote

Leadership consists not in degrees of technique but in traits of character; it requires moral rather than athletic or intellectual effort, and it imposes on both leader and follower alike the burdens of self-restraint.

Being a leader gives you charisma. If you look and study the leaders who have succeeded, that's where charisma comes from, from the leading.

Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.

Character matters; leadership descends from character.

There are very few good examples of effective, nurturing leadership that unlocks people's potential or even enthusiasm.

Character in leadership is the most important balance for leadership. Without character, leaders have no safety. Leadership has no protection without character.

Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.

I think leadership is more than just being able to cross the t's and dot the i's. It's about character and integrity and work ethic.

The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.

Leadership is influence.
