He alone can command who knows

how to obey

“He alone can command who knows how to obey”

Explain this sentence.

The success of a society depends on the coordination

between the various components which make up that

society This involves some command from some which

has to be carried by some or many As the saying goes no

man is an island, nor is everyone having the same talent

in the same way It is the nature’s order, a few could think

and plan while others must execute Then society can be

stable and function for long

It is a question of leadership There are very few leaders

but most of them are developed Accidents find them in

positions where they could develop into leader But those

positions they should learn from others until in their own

day they could bloom in to leaders

Great men of industry, great doctors and great lawyers

have come up the hard way Usually they all apprenticed

to a big one from whom they learn the art of their

respective trade They may have the basic knowledge and

they may know all the fundamentals but these do not

make them leaders They have to work under a senior and

gradually they evolve

This apprenticeship calls for humility, hard work, sustained

interest and above all obedience Obedience is to obey

So the apprentice has to obey his master Juniors under

as lawyers plod long hours so that they can master the

intricacies of law Young doctors have to sweat and labor

in an operation theatre such that they may succeed as

soon as they wear the uniforms, and for them obedience is

the first and the last word There is no profession like that

of a soldier where unquestioned and unstinted obedience

is called for The great generals then and now ought to

have learned the value of obedience the harder way

Leadership needs discipline and dedication

These people know the value of obedience They know

how thing may go wrong if obedience is lacking It was

said of a business magnate that he insisted on all those

who worked under him to be punctual If anyone was late

he used to fine them If he himself was not punctual, he

would pay the fine from his pocket and thus he was able to

set an example

It is clear from the above that those who would command

must know how to obey before they can expect others to

obey
