Simplified Meaning:
Being a leader isn't just about giving orders or holding a position of power; it's more about looking after the well-being of the people you're responsible for. Imagine a teacher at school. The best teachers aren't just there to tell students what to do. Instead, they make sure everyone understands the lessons, feels supported, and can come to them with problems. This way, students learn better and feel valued. Similarly, a great manager at work listens to their team’s concerns, helps them grow, and ensures they have what they need to succeed. By caring for those they lead, they build trust and a stronger team. So, being a good leader means focusing on helping and supporting your people, not just controlling them.
