Liderar por trás — Mandela

“A leader is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.”

Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom (1994). A formulação condensada “Lead from the back — and let others believe they are in front” circula amplamente como variante editorial desta passagem.
