As the leaders and decision-makers of this great state, it is our responsibility to strive for perfection.

They are scared that the BBC or CNN may call them radicals, so they remain soft instead. The problem lies there, with the Muslim leaders, not the Muslim masses.

The Muslim leaders swallow the advice of the Western powers and bodies like the IMF and World Bank, even when it is bad for their countries and they know this.

But the leaders of the OIC could not even accept Mahathir's proposal, yet they talk about respect and honour.

Arab leaders worry more about making money from the profits they get from oil and gas that they turn the other way when Lebanon is being destroyed right next to them. Their neighbours are being murdered, but they only make calculations for their own benefit.

The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.

Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery.

Leaders keep their eyes on the horizon, not just on the bottom line.

Leaders must encourage their organizations to dance to forms of music yet to be heard.

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.

Servant leadership is the foundation and the secret of Sam Walton's ability to achieve team synergy.
