So thinking big, but then you got to get a team.
You can't just think big.
You've got to get a team together to get mobilized to materialize that big goal you've put out.
And that's not unique, by the way.
There's plenty of other companies that think big and move fast, but we've been consistently thinking big and very big.
And we've been consistently executing with discipline on that big vision.
The most important thing in order to unlock speed is have people on the management team who are comfortable with moving fast, but moving fast in a disciplined way.
Use this analogy.
You have a car driving down the highway as fast as it responsibly can.
The hubcaps may be shaking a little bit, but they're not going to fall off.
You don't want to drive so fast that you're going to have self-created problems.
You can't be reckless.
You need to be disciplined.
You need to be professional.
But you want to move fast.
Jack Welch was a big proponent of speed.
He was always emphasizing throughout the whole organization, you got to move fast.
Things get worse, not better.
Particularly with deals, by the way.
When I do M&A, I do them very, very fast.
