The Secret of Management
Posted on December 10, 2008
One of my favorite axioms: the secret of management is simple, if you’re not smart, surround yourself with smart people. If you are smart, surround yourself with smart people who disagree with you.
I’ll confess some arrogance on my part: I get uncomfortable when I’m surrounded with people who agree with me.
I was paid a very valuable compliment yesterday. Having recently seen the newest cut, my good friend Ethan Norris really enjoyed the film. He told me so. I’m very close to him because he’s dedicated to honesty. Brutal, unflinching honesty. He has been bombastically, constructively critical of my post efforts thus far. His contributions and suggestions were mandatory to the success of the film.
His endorsement means the world to me.
