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.
If longevity is the best index to measure a company, a basic requirement is the ability of the corporation to generate new and new leaders.
Leadership is about doing the right thing, even if it going against a vast number of naysayers and mediocre people.
My personal view is that organizations have a capacity to throw up extraordinary leaders to suit the occasion.
A leader or a man of action in a crisis almost always acts subconsciously and then thinks of the reasons for his action.
I don't think it's ever appropriate for a manager to criticize an individual. Not that criticism should never be given; there are times when a manager must communicate dissatisfaction.
How does a leader make people feel important? First, by listening to them. Let them know you respect their thinking, and let them voice their opinions.
If I have any merit, it is getting along with individuals, according to their ways and characteristics. At times it involves suppressing yourself. It is painful, but necessary. To be a leader you have got to lead human beings with affection.
Leadership is lonely ... I'm not going to be afraid of confrontation to get us to where we need to go. - Kobe Bryant
Invert, always invert: Turn a situation or problem upside down. Look at it backward. - Charlie Munger
I speak directly to the people, and I know that the people of California want to have better leadership. They want to have great leadership. They want to have somebody that will represent them. And it doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or a Republican, young or old. - Arnold Schwarzenegger
My relationship to power and authority is that I'm all for it. People need somebody to watch over them. Ninety-five percent of the people in the world need to be told what to do and how to behave. - Arnold Schwarzenegger
Leaders, true leaders, take responsibility for the success of the team, and understand that they must also take responsibility for the failure.
I don't hire a lot of number-crunchers, and I don't trust fancy marketing surveys. I do my own surveys and draw my own conclusions.
A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better. - Jim Rohn
