Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of balance when it comes to leadership. True leaders need to establish a connection with their followers, understanding their perspectives, concerns, and needs. By being close enough, leaders can develop a deep sense of empathy and relatability that encourages trust and collaboration. However, leaders must also maintain a certain distance to provide guidance, set a vision, and inspire progress. Their ability to stay ahead, whether through foresight, expertise, or ambition, allows them to motivate and inspire others to reach their full potential.
