Leadership is about making the right decision and the best decision before, sometimes, it becomes entirely popular.

We live in a society obsessed with public opinion. But leadership has never been about popularity.

Basically, to lead without a title is to derive your power within the organisation not from your position but from your competence, effectiveness, relationships, excellence, innovation and ethics.

Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It's about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire team-mates and customers.

You can be a leader in your workplace, your neighborhood, or your family, all without having a title.

Leadership is one of sports' intangibles. Guys can score, guys can fight, guys can skate faster than anybody else. But not everybody can say, 'Follow me.'

Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.

Leadership is a mindset in action. So don't wait for the title. Leadership isn't something that anyone can give you - you have to earn it and claim it for yourself.

Being named among the best at something is special and beautiful. But if there are no titles, nothing is won.

I definitely see myself as a leader. One of the ways I've been lucky enough to lead and likely to continue to lead is just my actions and the way that I approach the game and working hard and being a player that steps up in big-time situations when plays need to be made.
