8. Holding Together
Gather strength, knowledge, and support before you try to lead others. People will gravitate toward you when you are ready.
At the beginning: Join together with kindred spirits to find your true work.
In the second place: Unite with leaders who support your beliefs and express your loyalty.
In the third place: You always seem to attract the wrong kind of people. What do they see in you?
In the fourth place: If you are trying to get in with a new group, make friends with the leaders first.
In the fifth place: Your natural confidence is all you need if you can remain just and humble too.
At the top: Inept leaders destroy even the strongest nation.
