Being a good listener is absolutely critical to being a good leader; you have to listen to the people who are on the front line.

A good leader doesn't get stuck behind a desk.

A leader is best
When people barely know he exists
Of a good leader, who talks little,
When his work is done, his aim fulfilled,
They will say, “We did this ourselves.

A good leader must be fair.

It is always better for a leader to be revered rather than feared.

I plan on being a friend, a good leader and a good governor over these next three years.
