[Star Trek] Why do humans have so many in high placed positions of Starfleet and Federation?

Weren't Humans a junior member to more technologically advanced nations like Vulcans and Andorians and so on?

There is a theory that humans are pretty much insane by any other species' standards, and that the only ones capable of herding humans and making them work together with other races are other humans. Leaders of other species simply do not know how to work with human insanity, while human leaders not only know how to do this, but can also use this "insanity" to their advantage. 

Because of this, humans are pretty much always selected for leadership roles.
