What Makes a Great Leader

We’ve focused on everyday leaders because leadership is not about position or title.
It’s not about organizational power or authority. It’s not about fame or wealth.
It’s not about the family you are born into. It’s not about being a CEO, president, general, or prime minister. And it’s definitely not about being a hero.
Leadership is about relationships, about credibility, and about what you do. And everything you will ever do as a leader is based on one audacious assumption: that you matter

When you understand that leadership is about doing the right thing–then it follows that everyone is a leader and needs leadership skills.

People will feel fooled and misled unless they see the impact of the exercise within your organization—every day

As a leader, choose the values and the ethics that are most important to you, the values and ethics that you believe in and that define your character.

ou have to make sure that what you can see is also something that others can see, and vice versa.

When you envision the future you want for yourself and others, and when you feel passionate about the legacy you want to leave, you are much more likely to take that first step forward.

you are going to be an exemplary leader, you have to be able to imagine a positive future

Leaders are expressive, and they attract followers through their energy, optimism, and hope.

They show others how their values and interests will be served by the long-term vision of the future.
