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.

My philosophy of leadership is to surround myself with good people who have ability, judgment and knowledge, but above all, a passion for service.

There are certain skills that business people have that are - that are, in fact, helpful in - when it comes to being in political leadership.

Good political leadership for me involves getting the big decisions right - however difficult, however controversial, however potentially divisive - and then being able to take people with you.

Leadership is one of the things I really strive to excel in in my life.

I think leadership is just something that comes really natural to me.

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

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.

I think leadership is more than just being able to cross the t's and dot the i's. It's about character and integrity and work ethic.

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.
