“Always do everything you ask of those you command”
— George S. Patton

Simplified Meaning:
If you are in charge of other people, it's important to not ask them to do things that you wouldn't do yourself. For example, if a coach wants the players to run extra laps, the coach should also run those laps sometimes. This shows the team that the coach understands how hard the work is and is willing to do it too. It builds trust and respect because people see that their leader is fair and committed. When a boss at a job works alongside their employees, it creates a strong sense of teamwork. This approach encourages everyone to work harder and feel more united, knowing their leader is right there with them.
