Tend to the people, and they will tend to the business.

John C. Maxwell
About This Quote

When you tend to the people, they will tend to the business. The idea behind this proverb is that when you care for others, they are more likely to help you in return. Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? Actually, it’s not! When you worry too much about others, you may overlook your own problems, making it harder for you to solve them.
