And I try to clear all obstacles.

And so I basically did that group by group.

And the great thing is, I was in massive number of details, reviewing everything for years.

But eventually, it's like muscle memory.

It's like an instructor or a coach

You have to teach them, but once they learn and they have the muscle memory, like a golf swing, you can step back and now it's muscle memory.

So now I don't have to be in all these details, all these teams, but I would just say a couple things, people listening, like great leadership is presence, not absence.

I think a generation of management consulting or management school, management teaching,

taught us that CEOs should trust their people and get out of the way.

I don't think trust and getting out of the way are the same thing.

Again, I think leadership is presence.

You should actually be partnering with your people.

You should be on the field with them.

If you're a cavalry general, you should be on a horse.

You should be on the battlefield.

You're not overseas somewhere else just writing out blueprints.

You've got to be on the field with them.

You've got to be leading from example.

I think leadership is from the front, not from the back.

These are just some of the things we do.
