China and India will take the global leadership on climate change: they are suffering for it.

Real leadership is leaders recognizing that they serve the people that they lead.

We've been sitting at the compromise table for a long time. We're just waiting for that cold chair to be warmed up by the Republican leadership. They still have time to do the right thing and be responsible. They just seem to be moving further and further away from it.

Aren't we at the point where the closer we get to chaos the more concern that there should be about coming to the table and compromising with Democrats? This is not leadership. This is almost like dictatorship.

Unfortunately the Republican leadership in the House right now seems to have been strangled by the tea party.

Democrats are going to proudly run on the fact that we turned the economy around. It was our policies under President Obama's leadership through the Recovery Act through investing in the automobile industry.

The fact is when it comes to economic leadership the Republicans have nothing to brag about. This isn't what the American people want. They want to see progress that works for them.

I think Chinese leadership is trying to tell the world they have another set of logic or reasoning or values which are different from yours. Of course I don't think they believe that. It's just an argument that's made when you can't confront the truth and facts. They really want to maintain power.

Clearly no one knows what leadership has gone undiscovered in women of all races and in black and other minority men.

The test of leadership for David Cameron was actually to bring the British Conservative Party back in to the mainstream.

The biggest novelty of 2013 will be new leadership in China. Very little is known about the views of the new leaders - who will rule the country for ten years. But we do know they're the first generation of Chinese leaders who have spent the majority of their lives in a China 'opening up' to the rest of the world.

To meet the expectations of the majority of our people and to open up new vistas of economic opportunity so that the aspirations of Nigerians can stand a fair chance of being fulfilled in a lifetime there must be a truly committed leadership in a democratic Nigeria.

It is the responsibility of leadership to provide opportunity and the responsibility of individuals to contribute.

By providing outstanding economic leadership this country can wage its attack successfully - and can thereby build the foundations of a peaceful world.

Now if we look at the way in which the labor movement itself has evolved over the last couple of decades we see increasing numbers of black people who are in the leadership of the labor movement and this is true today.

I recognize we will pay more attention when we have different leadership.

I talked about the need for American leadership I talked about the importance of the United States to a more peaceful world a world that has been quite turbulent in recent years and needs a strong American anchor.

We needed to go back on the offense and offer clear leadership on Iraq.

I think we need leadership that helps us remember that part of what we are about is caring about more than the person right next to us but the folks across the way.

Studies have consistently shown that financial hardship is the biggest obstacle to heterosexual marriage yet the Republican leadership has done precious little to help address the financial hardship faced by American families.

If there is such a thing as good leadership it is to give a good example. I have to do so for all the Ikea employees.

Leadership involves finding a parade and getting in front of it.

We're going to need to absorb some pain. The Republicans want to pile all the pain on people who can least afford it and the middle class and Democrats under his leadership want to make sure that we can address deficit reduction and continue to make investments and shared sacrifice is going to be imperative in order to be able to do that.

Each one of us and indeed all those who aspire to national leadership must bring their own visions views and styles to the business of reforming Nigeria and the search for solutions.
