Deng Ming-Dao once wrote:
“True leadership is a combination of initiative and humility. The best leader remains obscure, leading but drawing no personal attention. As long as the collective had direction, the leader is satisfied. Credit is not to be taken, instead it will be awarded by the people.”

“He who has the ear of the king, often holds the keys to the kingdom”
