Leadership requires Leaders
Successful leaders have self-awareness. They have the self-respect and respect for others that allows them to be tough yet compassionate, to remain composed under pressure, and to negotiate to solve problems. This quality earns them the trust and respect of others.

Trust“First of all, a successful leader is someone who has
integrity, someone you can trust. You know and share the values they stand for and you can count on them to act accordingly.”
Donald W. Weber, CEO Contel“The most overlooked requirement for successful
business leadership today is integrity. …. I mean integrity in the larger sense of an openness to ideas and colleagues, a willingness to trust the people who work for you and surrender yourself to their strengths, and an ability to put the interests of the team ahead of the narrow, selfish interests of the individual.”
Wayne Calloway, CEO, PepsiCo
