“Leadership means that a group, large or small, is willing to entrust authority to a person who has shown judgment, wisdom, personal appeal, and proven competence.”

Words by Golda Meir (1898-1978) — Prime Minister of Israel.

About this quote

True leadership is a privilege granted by others rather than an entitlement. It relies on a group willingly placing their trust in an individual who has consistently shown good judgement, character, and practical skill. Authority must be earned through proven ability and wisdom, reassuring followers that their confidence is well placed in times of responsibility.

This definition comes from Golda Meir, the fourth Prime Minister of Israel. Reflecting on her decades of public service, she framed political and social leadership as a form of earned trust rather than simple ambition or power.
