"要求你指挥的人做的,你自己也要做"
— George S. Patton
Simplified Meaning:
When you are a leader and you want others to follow your instructions, it’s important that you are willing to do those tasks yourself. Imagine a coach of a soccer team. If the coach always tells the players to practice hard, but never shows up on the field, the players might not take him seriously. However, if the coach practices alongside the team, doing the same drills and exercises, the team sees that the coach is dedicated and serious. This makes the team more likely to listen and follow the coach’s instructions. In your own life, if you want people to respect you and do what you ask, you should be ready to do the same work. For instance, if you're a manager and ask your employees to stay late to finish a project, you should be willing to stay late too. This way, others will see you are fair and committed, and they will be more motivated to work with you.
