Simplified Meaning:

When things are going smoothly, it's easy for someone to look like a good leader. But real leadership shows itself when times are tough. Imagine you are on a ship, and everything is calm. The captain seems good at his job. But then, a big storm hits. If the captain stays calm, makes smart decisions, and ensures everyone is safe, he's proved himself as a strong leader. In everyday life, think about a manager at work. During normal times, they might communicate well and motivate the team. But if the company faces a big problem, like losing a major client, this is the real challenge. If the manager acts quickly, stays calm, and leads the team through the crisis, then everyone can see their true leadership skills. So, in tough times, watch how leaders behave—it reveals their true qualities.
