“Real leadership is being the person others will gladly and confidently follow.”

“Leadership is based on a spiritual quality - the power to inspire, the power to inspire others to follow. ”

“The people were merely to acknowledge the authority of the Führer, or, let us say, to declare themselves in agreement with the Führer. If they gave the Führer their confidence then it was their concern to exercise the other functions. Thus, not the individual persons were to be selected according to the will of the people, but solely the leadership itself.”

“They point out that leadership is not even the more interesting hand; it's no puzzle to understand why people want to lead. The real puzzle is why people are willing to follow.”

“When you've tasted power or true leadership, you can't wish to go back from being a follower once again.”

“Intentionality Rules. Leadership is not about charisma, it's not about being articulate, it's about being yourself and caring about others.”

“When your leadership fails, the followers are the ones to blame or perhaps, there is poor leadership on the side of the leading figure.”

“Leadership is the capacity and will to rally men and women to a common purpose and the character which inspires confidence.”

“The real "haves" are they who can acquire freedom, self-confidence, and even riches without depriving others of them. They acquire all of these by developing and applying their potentialities. On the other hand, the real "have nots" are they who cannot have aught except by depriving others of it. They can feel free only by diminishing the freedom of others, self-confident by spreading fear and dependence among others, and rich by making others poor.”

“I made the decision that I couldn't not run. I had to run. This country is in great danger. It's in great difficulty. It's being taken the wrong way by a leadership team that has no real vision for the country other than trying to posture and pose and aim for winning the next election. I think Americans deserve a more visionary, a more selfless and a more dedicated leadership than that.”
