Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of understanding the true nature of leadership. It suggests that a true leader recognizes that they are working for their subordinates, rather than the other way around. Failure to understand this dynamic results in a leadership style that resembles tyranny. True leadership entails recognizing the needs and aspirations of those being led, and working to support and guide them towards success, rather than imposing control and dominance.
