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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn't go by yourself.
Being a leader for me is about having the courage to speak the truth, and live the truth, despite attempts to silence our thoughts, feelings, and past experiences.
Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. It is precisely that simple, and it is also that difficult.
I never thought in terms of being a leader. I thought very simply in terms of helping people.
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.
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.
I say this all the time: Everyone can make a conscious choice to be a leader.
A leader's job is not to do the work for others, it's to help others figure out how to do it themselves, to get things done, and to succeed beyond what they thought possible.
I think leadership is knowing what you want to achieve and then purposefully and sensibly taking steps to achieve it, remembering always that you have got to bring people with you if you are seeking to be a successful political leader.
You don't have to hold a position in order to be a leader.
