About This Quote

Great leadership has more to do with character, courage, and conviction than it does with specific skills or competencies. This quote is about the meaning of leadership, which is one of the most important qualities for someone to have. When you think about leaders you usually think about them with certain skills. For example, people often say that George Washington was a great leader because he was a great general. That’s true, but it doesn’t give us the full picture of what made him a great leader.
