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.

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.

In tumultuous times, it's important to have a very mature leader.

A leader must be a good listener. He must be willing to take counsel. He must show a genuine concern and love for those under his stewardship.

A good leader should focus on making sure everyone is being given the tools to do their job, not just expecting - poof! - that they're going to produce great work.

I think one of the keys to leadership is recognizing that everybody has gifts and talents. A good leader will learn how to harness those gifts toward the same goal.

Leaders need to be thinking constantly about what they're doing to create a basic sense of security and stability throughout an organization.

You know, you don't need a leader to sort of administer something that's going very well. In fact, in one sense, an overly ambitious person in that circumstance can probably screw it up.

There are times when a leader must move out ahead of the flock, go off in a new direction, confident that he is leading his people the right way.

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