About This Quote

In the world of business, being a number two is to be a working part of a system. Number one is someone who does not have the capacity to make the system work because he cannot get things done on his own. For example, if a person is a number one in their business but cannot get things done on his own, he will become a number two in his company and still do what is expected of him.
