To lead the people, walk behind them.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, not so good when people obey and acclaim him, worse when they despise him....But of a good leader who talks little when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say, "We did it ourselves. Chinese proverb -Lao Tzu.

Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men. Donald H. McGannon -Lao Tzu.

When the effective leader is finished with his work, the people say it happened naturally.

Because of deep love, one is courageous. Because of frugality, one is generous. Because of not daring to be ahead of the world, one becomes the leader of the world.

To lead the people, walk behind them.
