Simplified Meaning:
People who believe they are destined to be leaders and think others should always follow them can quickly become rude and arrogant. Imagine a boss who thinks they are naturally superior to their employees. Instead of treating others with respect, they might start giving orders in a harsh tone, ignoring others' ideas, or acting like they are always right. Over time, this attitude can create a toxic work environment where people feel undervalued and resentful. To avoid this, it's important for leaders to stay humble, listen to others, and treat everyone with respect. This way, they build a positive and collaborative environment where everyone feels appreciated and heard.
