Summary

This quote suggests that a leader should strike a balance between adapting to their people's experiences and pushing boundaries. If a leader simply sticks to the familiar and limits their actions according to what their people are comfortable with, they risk becoming stagnant and hindering growth. On the other hand, if a leader exceeds the experiences of their people, they may face difficulties in effectively communicating their ideas and being understood. Therefore, a successful leader understands and connects with the experiences of their followers while also leading them towards progress and new possibilities.
