Simplified Meaning:
To be in charge of others, you first need to be in control of yourself. Think about a coach of a sports team. Before telling others what to do, the coach needs to have good habits, stay calm under stress, and make smart choices. If the coach loses their temper easily or makes poor decisions, the players won’t trust or listen. The same goes for any leader, whether in a company or a family. You need self-discipline and self-awareness before you can effectively guide others. If you can manage your own emotions, actions, and decisions, you are more likely to earn respect and lead others better.
