RE: The Earth on sale! Wild West re-released. The story of a failed business idea that was actually quite charming.

Your comment does make sense. I also feel that sometimes I just lack the ability to lead well. I actually deliberately hire people who know more about certain things than I do, for the simple fact that I don't want to be an expert in their field.

It can make leading these people challenging though since they know they are experts, and I have to direct them to do things in a certain way, since I know what the customers needs are better than they do. It can be an interesting environment to work in, which is why I sometimes have a bad day.

I agree that being a leader can, and should, be a temporary thing though. Leaders need to move out of the way for fresh blood to come in. If I stay in this role for too long, I feel that the business won't progress with the times as effectively as it should.

Oh and I did the 5 facts challenge, thanks for the nomination. It was actually a lot of run to write.
