Two issues: 1) Who is greatest 2) Who can participate in great works. How are they related?
I suppose it might mean that everyone is eligible for both greatness and great works and you don`t have to be a religious leader to do them.

Who Will Be the Greatest

There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest. Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side, and said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great."
John answered, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn't follow with us."
Jesus said to him, "Don't forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us."
