The Tao Te Ching reminds us: The Master doesn't talk, he acts.
When his work is done,
the people say, "Amazing:
we did it, all by ourselves!"
I think that fits with what you were saying about a compassionate leader and a leader with no ego, a leader that doesn't have to take credit because they know they lead a great team to do a great job. The leader can allow the team to feel fulfilled by its accomplishments.
