One of my favorite parts of the Tao Te Ching is this:
A leader is best when people barely know that he exists, not so good when people obey and acclaim him, worst when they despise him. Fail to honor people, They fail to honor you. But of a good leader, who talks little, when his work is done, his aims fulfilled, they will all say, “We did this ourselves.”
Your role is now defined by what your team needs you to be. Listen to them, care, and see what you can do to help them thrive.
