The smartest thing I ever did was to hire my weakness.

Leadership is the art of giving people a platform for spreading ideas that work.

We…
We shouldn’t be looking for heroes… we should be looking for good ideas

Power isn’t control at all; power is strength and giving that strength to others. A leader isn’t someone who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own.
