In the army, we do two things every day. We train our soldiers, and then we grow them into leaders, because frankly, we don't hire out. We grow our own leaders.

Well, the first quality of being a good leader is you have to be able to follow. See, a good leader can't just be the leader all the time, I have to be able to follow.

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.

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 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.

Being a leader gives you charisma. If you look and study the leaders who have succeeded, that's where charisma comes from, from the leading.

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

My husband may have been in the military, but no one tells me which leader to follow.

Good leaders must first become good servants.

You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too.
