The best leaders lift people up versus tear people down.
A great leader has the ability to instill within his people confidence in themselves.
The best kind of politics is when you help people become their own best selves.
What we need is new leadership that takes conservative principles and applies them so that people can rise up.
One can lead a nation only by helping it see a bright outlook. A leader is a dealer in hope.
Great leaders inspire. They maintain a hopeful attitude, even in the face of discouraging setbacks, constant criticism and abundant opposition. People don't follow discouraged leaders. They follow those who persist with hope.
A prime function of a leader is to keep hope alive.
You will only succeed if you know that what you are doing is right and you know how to bring out the best in people.
The first and last task of aleader is to keep hope alive.
I believe that in order to be a good leader you must understand the value of praising people to success.
We are willing to follow leaders only to the extent we believe they call on our best, not our worst.
I think Americans expect optimism in their leadership. The most popular and effective leaders, whether it was Bill Clinton or Ronald Reagan or Jack Kennedy, brought to it a sense of optimism and possibility.
True Leaders do not manipulate others they INSPIRE them.
