Lao-tzu on Leadership

With the greatest leader above them,
people barely know one exists.

When a leader trusts no one,
no one trusts him.

The great leader speaks little.
He never speaks carelessly.
He works without self-interest
and leaves no trace.
When all is finished, the people say,
“We did it ourselves.”

-Lao-tzu, Tao Te Ching
