#Leader

"Success is not an activity but a process."

"You don't always have to be a leader and be as vocal as I am. I'm sure some people would love it if I didn't talk as much as I did."

"God ordered the world and all things in it, and I ordered a pizza and all things on it."

"You can be in your room and lead people. Just develop your potentials and publicize them and you will see people looking for your product. That is influence; self-made leaders do not look for followers. Followers look for them."

"Self-leaders do not look for followers because they are busily pursuing their influencial dreams that followers will trace and ask for. Followers look for influence and that can be obtained from self-leaders."

"I didn't have any Indigenous friends until I was in my 30s, and I'll always remember and be inspired by the remarkable friendship I had with Connie Bush, an outstanding Indigenous leader from Groot Eylandt on who was on the National Women's Advisory Council with me."

"Leadership is being the first to put others second. Wait, that’s not right. That’s politics."

"I am not a leader but a pathfinder and a motivator."

"A leader should always be open to criticism, not silencing dissent. Any leader who does not tolerate criticism from the public is afraid of their dirty hands to be revealed under heavy light. And such a leader is dangerous, because they only feel secure in the darkness. Only a leader who is free from corruption welcomes scrutiny; for scrutiny allows a good leader to be an even greater leader."

"Benazir Bhutto was an inspirational leader and an inspirational woman."

"Self-leaders are still true leaders even if they have no known followers. True leaders inspire by the influence of their characters and general self-made brands. Leadership is defined by the virtues of one's behaviour."

"I must be a great leader because many people follow me. Most of the people are police officers, if that gives you any indication of my character."

"A young child is a leader to an elderly person once his purpose has a faithful, sincere and trustworthy influence on people. Leadership is not restricted to position and age; it is self-made and influencial. Everyone has this self-leadership quality."

"A person, who no matter how desperate the situation, gives others hope, is a true leader."

"Always hear others out and remain open-minded; the day you think you know everything is the day you have the most yet to learn."

"My life is but a firefly’s flicker, so I’d better use my brief moment to light up the darkness that covers her path."

"What makes a good leader? I ask myself this every day, and then as I begin to list off characteristics I realize I’m describing myself. Am I the ideal leader? Let’s just say that if I were running for political office, I know who I’d vote for—twice."

"We are no longer in the dispensation of age and experience. We are in the era of knowledge and information. Information leads a true leader and a true leader leads others."

"A leader is a dealer in hope."

"The concept of leadership is abused by people who think a person becomes a leader when he grows grey hair, put into a position and expected to function. Everyone has a leadership potential carried within in a specific area of his or purpose. Leadership is universal and built on trust."
