A head held high sees far.
Feet planted firmly give
stability.
Look up! and send power
down.
If leadership follows the led,
If leaders act as servants,
Then Tao gives order.
Look keenly
- and be blind to vanity.
Listen intently - and be deaf to flattery.
Let Tao speak - and pride be dumb.
Self?
Less!
Encouraging effective teamwork
and cooperation involves
recognising and harnessing
individual talents, and
covering for individual
weaknesses.
When groups work
harmoniously, each member comes to regard success of the joint enterprise
as the hallmark of their own value and honour.
