What is important is a leader who can be trusted.

Any leader needs to be constantly interested in what's going on in the world, and constantly ready - even when things are going well - to change.

The most important role of a leader is to set a clear direction, be transparent about how to get there and to stay the course.

Let me define a leader. He must have vision and passion and not be afraid of any problem. Instead, he should know how to defeat it. Most importantly, he must work with integrity.

Leaders play a unique role in periods of crisis and chaos. Because if you don't, you're not going to harness the power of all the people behind you.

A leader must be a good listener. He must be willing to take counsel. He must show a genuine concern and love for those under his stewardship.

The most important thing as a leader is your relationship with God.

Somebody has to take responsibility for being a leader.

Though there are lessons that can be learned about becoming a great leader, most exist inherently in the bellies of those who lead.

It is the solemn obligation of a leader always to be a leader. Even when - perhaps especially when - you don't feel like being a leader.
