Simplified Meaning:
To be a good leader, you first need to know how to follow someone else's direction well. Imagine you work at a restaurant. Before you can be the manager, you must understand how to take orders, serve customers, and clean up — just like everyone else. This helps you know what the job takes and lets you connect better with your team later. When you have followed well, you learn patience, cooperation, and humility. These are important skills for a leader because they help you guide others kindly and wisely. So, taking time to be a good team player now can help you become a strong and understanding leader in the future.
