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 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.

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.

The leader is one who mobilizes others toward a goal shared by leaders and followers... Leaders, followers and goals make up the three equally necessary supports for leadership.

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

What is important is a leader who can be trusted.

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

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.

Among the qualities most needed among those who aspire to true leadership in the fostering of peace and goodwill among the nations and in overcoming racial and religious antagonism is the cooperative spirit and objective.
