What the quote mean?

Question

anyone can steer the ship, but it takes a real leader to chart the course

Answer 1

When you want to go on a boat trip from a to b, you just don't get into a ship and drive- you need to chart the plans on how to get there, so the navigator is the one responsible for a successful trip but everyone will thank the captain- it takes a person greater caliber to be able to accomplish something thru planning rather than someone who just "does" without planning

Answer 2

anyonce can do anything but only leaders can be the best
