Good leaders must communicate vision clearly, creatively, and continually. However, the vision doesn't come alive until the leader models it.

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.

The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet.

Any leader needs to be constantly interested in what's going on in the world, and constantly ready - even when things are going well - to change.

Leadership is unlocking people's potential to become better.

Leaders need to be thinking constantly about what they're doing to create a basic sense of security and stability throughout an organization.

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.

The task of leadership is not to put greatness into humanity, but to elicit it, for the greatness is already there.

A good leader should focus on making sure everyone is being given the tools to do their job, not just expecting - poof! - that they're going to produce great work.
