One More Nugget Of Lau Tzu

leader

A few days back I shared my ten favourite Lau Tzu’s quotations. Here’s one more from my list that would be of value to anyone aspiring to be a leader.

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.

  • I have followed this from a young age (one of my favourite quotes i took to heart). My experience however has been that companies do not value this. They value more the people who make the noise because they are more visible.
