If I'm going to be a leader then I have to go places that other people are afraid to go to. That's what makes a leader. To be not afraid to step out and go over the frontline. To stare darkness right in the face.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
The most important role of a leader is to set a clear direction, be transparent about how to get there and to stay the course.
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.
I think that my leadership style is to get people to fear staying in place, to fear not changing.
A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn't go by yourself.
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.
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.
I've put a lot of thought into being a leader.
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.
My feeling is if you're going to be a leader, you have to carefully assess where people are and where people want to go.
