Go to the People;

Live among them;

Love them;

Learn from them;

Start from where they are;

Work with them;

Build on what they have.

But of the best leaders,

When the task is accomplished,

The work completed,

The people all remark:

“We have done it ourselves”

— (misattributed to) Lao Tzu

A quote that I read a few days ago resonated deeply.
