In terms of the principles of politics I think I understand well. Thailand needs someone who has leadership who has the management skills to help the country.
Denmark needs change Denmark needs to move on and Denmark needs my leadership.
Germany must be a country which generates political ideas and leadership which is capable of compromise which is sovereign and yet knows that it needs its partners on both sides of the Atlantic.
One of the things about leadership is that you've got to show up. And if you want to be president of the United States you've got to make a case to the American people that Barack Obama needs to be dismissed from his position.
Leadership should be born out of the understanding of the needs of those who would be affected by it.
I talked about the need for American leadership I talked about the importance of the United States to a more peaceful world a world that has been quite turbulent in recent years and needs a strong American anchor.
The person who takes the oath of office in the next four months will shape not just the next four years but the next forty years of our nation. In these next four years we need proven leadership proven judgment and proven values. America needs four more years of President Barack Obama.
I think it is quite dangerous for an organisation to think they can predict where they are going to need leadership. It needs to be something that people are willing to assume if it feels relevant given the context of any situation.
I believe that the capacity that any organisation needs is for leadership to appear anywhere it is needed when it is needed.
I am endlessly fascinated that playing football is considered a training ground for leadership but raising children isn't. Hey it made me a better leader: you have to take a lot of people's needs into account you have to look down the road. Trying to negotiate getting a couple of kids to watch the same TV show requires serious diplomacy.
