Playing executive roles—manager, director, VP—just to farm your reputation and network in the industry.

Build up your own reputation and network. You’re building yourself, not the department.

Keep developing your people and bringing in strong talent so they can take over your old work. That’s how you free yourself to focus on growth and what truly matters.

Only when you keep improving will great people want to follow you—they need room to grow with you.

When you move fast and leave openings behind, they can step into those roles and advance alongside you.

If you stop, who’s going to stick with you? Expect them to wait until you die to take over? Who do you think you are? #BookNotes#
