19. A leader is best when people barely knows he exists, not so good when people obey him, worse when they despise him. But of a good leader, who talks little, when his work is done and his aim fulfilled, they will say ‘we did it ourselves’. Lao Tzu A leader is best when people barely knows he exists, not so good when people obey him, worse when they despise him. But of a good leader, who talks little, when his work is done and his aim fulfilled, they will say ‘we did it ourselves’. Lao Tzu The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant. Max Dupree
