Quote

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.

A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go, but ought to be.

A true leader always keeps an element of surprise up his sleeve, which others cannot grasp but which keeps his public excited and breathless.

This is easy to say with the benefit of hindsight, but I think it once again points out how very important style of leadership, that is the way he does what he does, is to his perception.

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

Somebody has to take responsibility for being a leader.

A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn't go by yourself.

A leader must be a good listener. He must be willing to take counsel. He must show a genuine concern and love for those under his stewardship.

A leader who doesn't hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.
