Leaders play a unique role in periods of crisis and chaos. Because if you don't, you're not going to harness the power of all the people behind you.
Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do 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.
One thing that somebody told me is that leadership is a lonely role - some people can do it, and some people can't.
Any leader needs to be constantly interested in what's going on in the world, and constantly ready - even when things are going well - to change.

Somebody has to take responsibility for being a leader.
A leader's job is not to do the work for others, it's to help others figure out how to do it themselves, to get things done, and to succeed beyond what they thought possible.
