Release children as part of your delegated leadership influence - this will enable you to leave a legacy worth noting. Realise the risk in delegation and bestowing this trust - if you sacrifice a rib, you expose your heart to possible pain, hurt or pride, fulfilment and joy. When these come — it’s not the end of the world, be brave enough to face the challenge with a positive attitude. Archibald Marwizi
About This Quote

The traditional approach to leadership is to stay at the top, commanding the resources and power needed to succeed. However, this is just not enough. Leadership also requires the ability to delegate, and this means passing on some of your responsibilities and authority to others. When you do this, you invest freely in others and put them into a position where they can grow and develop.

This means that they will be able to give you the respect and loyalty that you need as a leader. You will also be able to leave a legacy, as your team carry on your work once you have retired.
