Character — the inner world of motives and values that shapes our actions — is the ultimate determiner of the nature of our leadership. It empowers our capacities while keeping them in check. It distinguishes those who steward power well from those who abuse power. Character weaves such values as integrity, honesty, and selfless service into the fabric of our lives, organizations, and cultures. . Bill Thrall
About This Quote

A leader should not only be ready to sacrifice himself or herself for the sake of other people but should also be ready to sacrifice his or her own interests for the other people. The leader should set an example for others and inspire them to do better. Even at their worst, leaders are not bad; they are simply misunderstood because of their courage and strength.
