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.

Leadership is a way of thinking, a way of acting and, most importantly, a way of communicating.

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet.

If leadership is something that is in-your-face, then that is a different type of leadership.

I have a different vision of leadership. A leadership is someone who brings people together.

I define leadership as: Emotionally, you own your business. You own it with passion. And you either have or you don't have an economic investment. But when you have all three of those, you are the boss from Day One, and you care every single day more than anyone.

Making those around you feel invisible is the opposite of leadership.

One thing that somebody told me is that leadership is a lonely role - some people can do it, and some people can't.
