Leaders
There are four types of leaders;
The best leader
Is indistinguishable from the will
Of those who selected her.
The next best leader
Enjoys the love and praise of the people.
The poor leader
Rules through coercion and fear.
And the worst leader
Is tyrant despised by the multitudes
Who are the victims of his power.
What a world of difference
Among these leaders!
In the last two types,
What is done is without sincerity or trust –
Only coercion.
In the second type
There is harmony
Between the leader and the people
In the first type,
Whatever is done happens so naturally
That no one presumes to take the credit!
