Hi,
Frankie here. I think that "What is the food of the leader" is supposed to mean "What is the strengths of the leader" Which is like knowledge and speaking skills.
I agree with this proverb because a good leader would have those skills but i also disagree because anyone can be a leader if they try.
Hi,
I think that 'what is the food of the leader? It is knowledge. It is communication.' means that leadership is a role fed by knowledge and communication. Which means you have to know information and communicate well to become a good leader.
Knowledge is important to a leader because your followers look up to you for good advice and in the olden day’s people relied on the leader to know what was going to happen e.g. if an enemy was coming. You need to be a good communicator because a lot of people rely on you to know what is going on. If people do not know what is going on things will not run smoothly.
I agree with this proverb because people have to feel comfortable that there leader knows enough to keep them safe and help them grow.
He/she needs to pass this information onto other people.
Bye for now,
Alex
