It's Not About You


"To know how to hide one's ability is a great skill."

Francois de la Rochefoucauld
17th century French writer

Particularly in business.

Your company will only achieve through the efforts of many.

As capable as you might be your real task is to make sure you channel the collective ability of others rather than attempting to do everything yourself.
