Leadership is unlocking people's potential to become better.

You need the commitment of people that aren't worried about that next election, who are going to do the right thing and worry about the next generation. It's called political courage. And I can tell you, with me, you don't have to ask whether I have political courage.

Leadership should be born out of the understanding of the needs of those who would be affected by it.

Preparing our city to achieve its destiny will require strong leadership.

Leaders establish the vision for the future and set the strategy for getting there.

Leadership demands that we make tough choices.

Leadership is not about the next election, it's about the next generation.

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.

Leadership is about making the right decision and the best decision before, sometimes, it becomes entirely popular.

I think leadership is knowing what you want to achieve and then purposefully and sensibly taking steps to achieve it, remembering always that you have got to bring people with you if you are seeking to be a successful political leader.
