About This Quote
“You can’t give what you don’t have. To lead people in a better way, mingle with them in body. But in knowledge, be far ahead of them!” is a famous Chinese proverb that points out the difference between the way to lead and the way to give. If you try to lead people with your knowledge and show them you really care about helping people or solving their problems, they will be more likely to follow you and trust you. However, if you don’t know what to teach and use your own power as an example, people won’t listen to you because they won’t feel like they can trust you.
