Quote

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

At the heart of great leadership is a curious mind, heart, and spirit.

The best leaders are readers of people. They have the intuitive ability to understand others by discerning how they feel and recognizing what they sense.

Great leaders help their people see how they can directly impact the company's objectives and their own personal goals.

A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done.

Great leaders have a heart for people. They take time for people. They view people as the bottom line, not as a tool to get to the bottom line.

I think one of the keys to leadership is recognizing that everybody has gifts and talents. A good leader will learn how to harness those gifts toward the same goal.

It's through a leader's actions - what he or she does and says on a daily basis - that the essence of great leadership becomes apparent.

Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.

All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership.
