Sometimes being a leader means making tough decisions—you have to be prepared to take the rap for whatever choices you make.”

“If you run a bakery, you need a baker, a shop assistant to sell the cakes, and someone to oversee the finances. Would you employ the same person to do all three jobs? Of course not. Your financial wizard may know nothing about baking, but he will keep your accounts in perfect order. Your shop assistant may know nothing about finances, but he understands how to treat his customers. Each brings a unique skill to his job. In the same way, you may know enough about each set of skills to be able to manage a team of people, but you aren’t necessarily the best person to actually do the baking, even if you have a rough knowledge of it.”
