Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions.
Leadership does not depend on being right.
Actions, not words, are the ultimate results of leadership.
I think leadership is something you earn, more through actions than words.
Leadership consists not in degrees of technique but in traits of character; it requires moral rather than athletic or intellectual effort, and it imposes on both leader and follower alike the burdens of self-restraint.
Ultimately as a leader, you're evaluated on how you interact with people. If you do it well, you develop a reputation as effective leader. If you don't, you develop a reputation for being a highly ineffective leader.
Charlatanism of some degree is indispensable to effective leadership.
There are good leaders who actively guide and bad leaders who actively misguide. Hence, leadership is about persuasion, presentation and people skills.
Leadership is about vision and responsibility, not power.
The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.
