“Leadership is not about the leader, it’s about the team”
— Jocko Willink
Simplified Meaning:
Being a leader means focusing on the people you are leading, not just yourself. Imagine a football coach who spends all their time only training themselves and ignoring the players. The team wouldn't perform well because the coach isn't helping the players improve. A good leader supports and motivates their team, helping each person do their best. For example, in a school project, if one student tries to do everything themselves without listening to their group, the project might not turn out well. But if the student who is leading listens to everyone's ideas, delegates tasks, and encourages their friends, the project can be more successful. Good leaders make sure that their team feels valued and capable, leading to better results for everyone.
