Covey)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA leader is best when people barely know he exists, not so good when people obey and acclaim him, worse when they despise him\u2026.But of a good leader who talks little when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say, \u201cWe did it ourselves.\u201d  (Lao Tzu)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am more afraid of an army of 100 sheep led by a lion than an army of 100 lions led by a sheep.\u201c  (Talleyrand)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA boss creates fear, a leader confidence.
