Summary

This quote suggests that even skilled managers can sometimes find themselves in situations where they must follow the lead of others, just like a little boy walking a big dog. Despite their expertise and knowledge, there may be times when they need to relinquish control and rely on the guidance or decisions of someone else, whether it be a superior, team member, or external force. It highlights the importance of adaptability and humility in leadership, understanding that effective management sometimes requires the ability to take direction and follow instead of always leading.
