He who can take advice is sometimes superior to him who can give it.

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.

I think we so often equate leadership with being experts - the leader is supposed to come in and fix things. But in this interconnected world we live in now, it's almost impossible for just one person to do that.

If you are in a position to influence someone, you are a leader.

What is important is a leader who can be trusted.

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.

Somebody has to take responsibility for being a leader.

Leading by example is the most powerful advice you can give to anybody.

One of the lessons of leadership worth emphasizing is that you want to get to know other great leaders and take their advice. At some point in your development, it's only people who've been in the seat of having to be leaders who can help you in a deep way.

A leader in any place must ask himself who he identifies with, with which values, and towards what goals.
