When you’re leading, don’t talk.
Meaning of the quote
When you're the leader, it's better to listen and observe instead of constantly talking. As a leader, you should focus on understanding the situation and the people around you, rather than just speaking your own thoughts. This allows you to make better decisions and guide your team more effectively. The quote suggests that sometimes the most important thing a leader can do is stay quiet and pay attention, rather than always having the need to talk.
