The basis of leadership is the capacity of the leader to change the mindset, the framework of the other person.
I think there have always been funny women, from Carol Burnett to Joan Rivers. When the audience sees a woman, they innately know she's worked twice as hard to get there, she's had to prove that she can be the leader, first, and then be funny on top of it. She has to emit a confidence that she's in control.
Women are no longer victims. They have become leaders. They are at the forefront of the demonstrations. We will share a role in all aspects of life, side by side with men.
As our leader Saddam Hussein said, 'God is grilling their stomachs in hell. '
We have become sons of peace for the sake of Jesus, who is our leader.
So all the system was running down and collapsing. Mrs. Thatcher became the leader of the Conservative Party in February 1975, and she clearly wanted to strike out and do something different.
We can't wait for Washington. Business leaders are going to have to galvanize their own constituencies and do everything they can to demonstrate confidence in the economy, and I think that can be contagious.
The more humble and transparent a leader is, the more effective he or she will be.
The prize for ultimate inefficiency goes to America. We have built in so many checks and balances that our 'leaders' are the most thoroughly hogtied of any on Earth.
You have to create circumstances where your first-tier leader knows what you are trying to accomplish, because he is the one who's going to get it done.
The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.
The most successful leader of all is the one who sees another picture not yet actualized. He sees the things which are not yet there. . . Above all, he should make his co-workers see that it is not his purpose which is to be achieved, but a common purpose, born of the desires and the activities of the group.
A leader's responsibility is to cause a vision and mission to have tangible results in the real world.
You will be tested as a leader. . . . You may be tested with success, fame, and fortune.
I don't think that anyone has been really created more by the white press than the civil right leaders.
Learning to be an effective leader is no different than learning to be an effective person. And that's the hard part
I see myself as more of a policy maker than a political leader.
Hillary Clinton said that Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi is engaged in 'theater. ' Which explains the new strategy to defeat him: casting him as the lead in 'Spider-Man: the Musical. '
It was Hillary Clinton who worked with Russia on the New START Treaty to reduce their nuclear weapons stockpile. It was Hillary Clinton that worked with Russia to get them engaged in a community of nations to stop the Iranian nuclear weapons without firing a shot. She's not going around praising Vladimir Putin as a great guy. But she knows how to sit down at a table and negotiate tough deals. This is a very challenging part of the world, and we ought to have a commander-in-chief who is prepared and done it, rather than somebody who goes around praising Vladimir Putin as a great leader.
The collective influence of you and the other leaders will bring the rest along. If this does not happen, divided interest and loyalty will occur within the group.
