"将军的好坏取决于他指挥下的士兵"
— Douglas MacArthur
Simplified Meaning:
A leader's success or failure depends a lot on the people they lead. Imagine a coach of a sports team. If the team players are well-trained, motivated, and work well together, the team is likely to win games, making the coach look good. But if the players lack skills, discipline, or teamwork, the team will likely lose, making the coach seem ineffective. This idea can also be seen in history. For instance, during World War II, General Dwight D. Eisenhower's success was largely due to the dedication and bravery of the soldiers under his command. For someone in a leadership role today, this means that to be successful, they should focus on supporting, training, and motivating their team, because the team's performance will reflect back on them.
