I've put a lot of thought into being a leader.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always been a leader my whole life. I've always led. I didn't know how to do anything else.
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.
Being a leader for me is about having the courage to speak the truth, and live the truth, despite attempts to silence our thoughts, feelings, and past experiences.
If you are in a position to influence someone, you are a leader.
I don't think of myself as a leader. I am, but I don't think of myself that way. I'm not trying to belittle what I do, but I think of myself as a dancer first. I'll always be a dancer.
In the end, as a leader, you are always going to get a combination of two things: what you create and what you allow.
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 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.
I have a different vision of leadership. A leadership is someone who brings people together.
I never thought in terms of being a leader. I thought very simply in terms of helping people.
