My All-time Favorite Leadership Quote

by Miki Saxon

As for the best leaders,

the people do not notice their existence.

The next best,

the people honor and praise.

The next, the people fear;

and the next, the people hate—

When the best leader’s work is done,

the people say, “We did it ourselves!”

To lead the people, walk behind them.
Lao Tzu
