The way to become a great leader is to look for the best in people – seldom criticise – always praise.

Whenever you are setting up a new project, the most important thing is to surround yourself with people who are better than yourself, have different skills and a healthy combination of enthusiasm and experience.

Preferirán, en cambio, remitir las cosas al nivel superior, con lo cual reducen las posibilidades de equivocarse y/o de excederse respecto a sus funciones asignadas.
