A leader's most important decisions are about people. Who do you put in which jobs? How long do you leave them in a job?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The decisions you make affect a lot of people. You have investors, employees, and customers who all rely on you. Being a leader is a 24-hour-a-day job.
To me, a leader is someone who holds her- or himself accountable for finding potential in people and processes. And so what I think is really important is sustainability.
I think a leader has many roles to play. So, you know, one role is that of incubating talent; the other is that of being a strategist. It's a very interesting job I've got.
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.
I think that there is never an indispensable leader, you know? I think that there is a time with dignity that one needs to leave.
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.
A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go, but ought to be.
You don't have to hold a position in order to be a leader.
Leadership is a choice, not a position.
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.
