Are you the smartest person in the room?

Be careful answering that question. Do you think you’re the smartest person in the room?

Even if you are, if you think you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re the worst boss in the room.

Ask questions.
Listen.
Gather answers.
Evaluate.
Then make decisions.

Use the talent around you.

Pushing your crappy, uneducated ideas on the team is not a roadmap to success.

Hire smart people and let them do their job. Then, you’ll be the best boss in the room.
