Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration-of oneself and of others. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes. Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine.Lance Secretan
Leadership is a privilege to better the lives of others. It is not an opportunity to satisfy personal greed.Mwai Kibaki

Presidential leadership needn't always cost money. Look for low- and no-cost options. They can be surprisingly effective.Donald Rumsfeld

A lot of people, when a guy scores a lot of goals, think, 'He's a great player', because a goal is very important, but a great player is a player who can do everything on the field. He can do assists, encourage his colleagues, give them confidence to go forward. It is someone who, when a team does not do well, becomes one of the leaders.Zinedine Zidane
Leadership consists not in degrees of technique but in traits of character; it requires moral rather than athletic or intellectual effort, and it imposes on both leader and follower alike the burdens of self-restraint.Lewis H. Lapham
