I think a major act of leadership right now, call it a radical act, is to create the places and processes so people can actually learn together, using our experiences.

Most people associate command and control leadership with the military.

The cardinal responsibility of leadership is to identify the dominant contradiction at each point of the historical process and to work out a central line to resolve it.

It's really necessary for the United States to continue to give strong leadership to the Middle East peace process, supported by European countries at the same time.

Leadership cannot just go along to get along. Leadership must meet the moral challenge of the day.

Leadership is intangible, and therefore no weapon ever designed can replace it.

I think one of the keys to leadership is recognizing that everybody has gifts and talents. A good leader will learn how to harness those gifts toward the same goal.

But no nation can base its survival and development on luck and prayers alone while its leadership fritters away every available opportunity for success and concrete achievement.

If America wants to retain its position as a global power, its president must listen to the people and show strong leadership at this turning point in human history.

Leadership is, among other things, the ability to inflict pain and get away with it - short-term pain for long-term gain.
