If you are a leader, you should never forget that everyone needs encouragement. And everyone who receives it - young or old, successful or less-than-successful, unknown or famous - is changed by it.

Inspirational leaders need to have a winning mentality in order to inspire respect. It is hard to trust in the leadership of someone who is half-hearted about their purpose, or only sporadic in focus or enthusiasm.

I think one of the keys to leadership is recognizing that everybody has gifts and talents. A good leader will learn how to harness those gifts toward the same goal.

Though there are lessons that can be learned about becoming a great leader, most exist inherently in the bellies of those who lead.

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.

A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done.

I've always been a leader my whole life. I've always led. I didn't know how to do anything else.

I'm all for ambition and stretch goals. I set them for myself. But leadership isn't the same as cheerleading. Believing in something is a necessary but absolutely insufficient condition for making it come true.

Leadership is hard to define and good leadership even harder. But if you can get people to follow you to the ends of the earth, you are a great leader.
