Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes. Peter Drucker

Absolute identity with one's cause is the first and great condition of successful leadership. Woodrow Wilson

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

Leadership to me means duty, honor, country. It means character, and it means listening from time to time. George W. Bush

Leadership is influence. John C. Maxwell
