I was using this quote in one of my college classes, relating it to effective leadership. The pastor at my church uses this quote at every service and I find it to be very soothing hearing it from him and his wife. They truly practice what they preach. By the way… love the blog and your “Who is this Guy?” section.

“You can’t teach what you don’t know, and you can’t lead where you won’t go.” It’s a quote from Jesse Jackson. It’s used in many seminars, classes, and courses to describe effective leaders.

Probably the rhyme.

Thanks, Haynes. It is a saying with staying power. Maybe it’s because it rhymes. Or because it’s true.
