  • “Leadership implies a strong faith or belief in something. It may be a cause, an institution, a political or business operation, in which a man takes active direction by virtue of his faith and self-assurance. And, of course, leadership means a group, large or small, which is willing to entrust such authority to a man – or a woman – in judgment, wisdom, personal appeal, and proven competence.”– Walt Disney
