The greatest people are self-managing.
They don't need to be managed.
Once they know what to do,
they'll go figure out how to do it.
They don't need to be managed at all.
What they need is a common vision,
and that's what leadership is.
What leadership is is having a vision,
being able to articulate that
so the people around you can understand it,
and getting a consensus on a common vision.
We wanted people that were insanely great
at what they did,
But we're not necessarily those seasoned professionals.
But who had at the tips of their fingers and in their passion
the latest understanding of where technology was and what we could do with that technology.
And who wanted to bring that to lots of people.
So the neatest thing that happens is when you get a core group of, you know, ten great people,
it becomes self-policing as to who they let into that group.
So I consider the most important job of someone,
Thank you.
