If I'm going to be a leader then I have to go places that other people are afraid to go to. That's what makes a leader. To be not afraid to step out and go over the frontline. To stare darkness right in the face.

To be a leader, you have to make people want to follow you, and nobody wants to follow someone who doesn't know where he is going.

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.

I've put a lot of thought into being a leader.

To be a great leader, you firstly have to like people. If you don't like people, at the end of the day they will figure this out and you can't lead them too well.

Leadership is all about taking people on a journey. The challenge is that most of the time, we are asking people to follow us to places we ourselves have never been.

Leadership is hard to define and good leadership even harder. But if you can get people to follow you to the ends of the earth, you are a great leader.

A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go, but ought to be.

A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn't go by yourself.

I never thought in terms of being a leader. I thought very simply in terms of helping people.
