Quotables:

  • 15:05 – “It really does get to a point where your business you have to evolve as a leader and in that evolution there will be times when you have to make decisions based on a different decision model or you might have more of a leadership team where you’re bringing in people who in all honesty do know more than you know about this particular area of the business and as a result of that you have to have more coalitions or you have take in more opinions as you might consider them versus hey I’ve made the decision lets move forward.”
  • 17:28 – “You realize that the people you have placed around you that their questions are not saying that your idea sucks, their questions are really designed to make sure that all the pieces are considered, that everything can come together well including what the team is going to have to do to make this vision come to reality.”
