Leadership is a matter of having people look at you and gain confidence, seeing how you react. If you're in control, they're in control.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you are in a position to influence someone, you are a leader.
Leadership is a mindset that shifts from being a victim to creating results. Any one of us can demonstrate leadership in our work and within our lives.
There's two parts of leadership. You've got to be a good leader - you've got to be somebody that people want to emulate and care about the other people. But the other guys that you have have to accept their leadership. They have to respond to it. That's the chemistry that you never know how that is going to happen.
Leadership is about doing what you know is right - even when a growing din of voices around you is trying to convince you to accept what you know to be wrong.
One thing that somebody told me is that leadership is a lonely role - some people can do it, and some people can't.
One of the most important things about leadership is that you have to have the kind of humility that will allow you to be coached.
As a leader, you need to care deeply, deeply about your people while not worrying or really even caring about what they think about you. Managing by trying to be liked is the path to ruin.
Leadership is standing with your people. People say you have to live to fight another day, but sometimes you have to show you are a true leader.
Leaders play a unique role in periods of crisis and chaos. Because if you don't, you're not going to harness the power of all the people behind you.
Leadership is an intense journey into yourself. You can use your own style to get anything done. It's about being self-aware. Every morning, I look in the mirror and say, 'I could have done three things better yesterday.'
