The vision thing

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather
wood, divide the work and give orders.

Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”

Antoine de Saint Exupery

  1. "If you pick the right people and give them the opportunity to spread their wings—and put [compensation] as a carrier behind it—you almost don't have to manage them."— Jack Welch

    Caveat only that I'd like it to mean compensation in its widest meaning and not just ££ could also be personal growth.
