EXAMPLE:

A True Leader Knows the Way

You cannot take others on a journey with an unknown destination. Know where you
are going, and how you are going to get there.
Often visions will adapt and times change; this creates a shift in the vision.
Adjustments in the vision are not a problem as long as the way remains known and
that the changes are not a regular occurrence.

A True Leader Goes the Way

This is one of the most abused steps in leadership. People often just want to be the
leader and tell people where to go and how to get there.
But they are not willing to do what they ask others to do. A true leader is always the
first person doing what he or she is saying.

A True Leader Shows the Way

Imagine yourself as the leader of a team. Youre going down a dark path with a group
of people behind you.
When you are showing people how to get the the vision, you do it with them; you
keep them close.
So, I agree the given statement.
