Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple, and it is also that difficult.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn't go by yourself.
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.
To be a leader, you have to make people want to follow you, and nobody wants to follow someone who doesn't know where he is going.
It is the solemn obligation of a leader always to be a leader. Even when - perhaps especially when - you don't feel like being a leader.
Well, the first quality of being a good leader is you have to be able to follow. See, a good leader can't just be the leader all the time, I have to be able to follow.
You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too.
To be a great leader, you firstly have to like people. If you don't like people, at the end of the day they will figure this out and you can't lead them too well.
I've always been a leader my whole life. I've always led. I didn't know how to do anything else.
To remain a credible leader, I must always work first, hardest, and longest on changing myself. This is neither easy nor natural, but it is essential.
I never thought in terms of being a leader. I thought very simply in terms of helping people.
