An organization is constrained by the by it's leader and the passion of that leader. I have been learning this at work. The key is to build great teams. To surround yourself with great people. People who will challenge you. People who have a different perspective. People of passion and great thinking.
The team you build will define the quality of our output.
The failure of many organizations is to become dependent on a single leader who is surrounded by people who are easily lead and influenced. Build a great team. Hire some difficult people.
