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.

Leaders need to be optimists. Their vision is beyond the present.

Leadership requires the courage to make decisions that will benefit the next generation.

I think effective leaders typically are able to see the future to a certain degree and then try to take actions to shape it in some way.

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.

Good leaders must communicate vision clearly, creatively, and continually. However, the vision doesn't come alive until the leader models it.

The most important thing a leader can do is set the vision and don't stray. We said, 'We are a research foundation. Our mission is to accelerate cures.'

My feeling is if you're going to be a leader, you have to carefully assess where people are and where people want to go.

Once an organization has a strong sense of mission, leaders can focus on trying new things.

Great leaders communicate a vision that captures the imagination and fires the hearts and minds of those around them.
