What is the meaning of the phrase a chain is only as strong as its weakest link?

It means literally that if one link of a chain will break under 10 lbs. stress, then even if all the other links will not break until the stress is 20 lbs., the chain as a whole will break if 10 lbs. is applied, since the weak link will break. Figuratively, it is used to suggest that a team is only as good as its weakest member, because if the team is to fail, the weakest member will fail first.
