Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.

Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far en

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.
