The function of leadership is to produce more leaders not more followers.

Leadership can not be measured in a poll or even in the result of an election. It can only be truly seen with the benefit of time. From the perspective of 20 years not 20 days.

Leadership is an opportunity to serve. It is not a trumpet call to self-importance.

Black leadership has to recognize that principles more than speech character more than a claim is greater in advancing the cause of our liberation than what has transpired thus far.

I have a different vision of leadership. A leadership is someone who brings people together.

Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to you'd better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony. And they can tell when you're not giving it all you've got.

Leadership in today's world requires far more than a large stock of gunboats and a hard fist at the conference table.

The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership.

A functioning robust democracy requires a healthy educated participatory followership and an educated morally grounded leadership.

Leadership to me means duty honor country. It means character and it means listening from time to time.
