To lead people walk behind them.

Summary

This quote suggests that an effective leader should not dominate or control their followers, but instead, should support and guide them from a position of humility and empathy. True leadership is not about overpowering others, but rather about understanding their needs, empowering them, and serving as a source of inspiration. By walking behind, a leader can observe the progress, offer assistance when needed, and inspire their followers to take initiative and lead themselves, fostering a sense of autonomy and growth within the team.
