Keith Craft: If you are too big to follow, you are too small to lead.
If you are too big to follow, you are too small to lead.
The thought behind the quote
If you think you are too important to serve others, you miss the essence of true leadership. True leaders understand that greatness comes from putting others first, elevating those around them, and being willing to do the work that others may consider beneath them. Leaders are more focused on being a part of something than the part that they play. If you can’t play the role you’re asked to play on the team you are on, the chances are rare you will ever be given the opportunity to lead a team.
