Good leaders must first become good servants.

It's fair to characterise me as competitive and determined, but anyone who works with me will attest to the fact I believe very strongly in the notion of servant leadership.

I believe in servant leadership, and the servant always asks, 'Where am I needed most?'

The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant.

I learned that leadership is about falling in love with the people and the people falling in love with you. It is about serving the people with selflessness, with sacrifice, and with the need to put the common good ahead of personal interests.

In the military, I learned that 'leadership' means raising your hand and volunteering for the tough, important assignments.

I think leadership is service and there is power in that giving: to help people, to inspire and motivate them to reach their fullest potential.

Leadership consists of picking good men and helping them do their best.

Leadership is something I was born with.

Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
