“Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them.”
— Colin Powell
Simplified Meaning:
Being a leader means helping others with their problems. If people stop coming to you with their issues, it means you've stopped being a good leader. Imagine you're a teacher, and your students used to ask you for help with their homework. If one day they stop asking, it might be because they don't trust you to help anymore, or they think you don't care. To be a good leader, you need to make sure people feel comfortable coming to you with any problems they have. When people trust you to help them, it shows you're doing a good job leading. So, always listen and be ready to help when someone needs you.
