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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you're a leader at any level of any scale, leaders are defined at times of crisis.
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.
In the past a leader was a boss. Today's leaders must be partners with their people... they no longer can lead solely based on positional power.
A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn't go by yourself.
All leaders share something in common. They feel they are the only ones who can do the job.
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.
I never thought in terms of being a leader. I thought very simply in terms of helping people.
If you are in a position to influence someone, you are a leader.
It is the solemn obligation of a leader always to be a leader. Even when - perhaps especially when - you don't feel like being a leader.
You don't have to hold a position in order to be a leader.
