The best CEO's I know are teachers.

— Ben Horowitz

Reflection

A leader’s job isn’t just to make decisions; it’s to develop effective decision-makers. The best CEOs teach their teams how to think, reinforce the mission, vision, and values until they shape everyday choices, and model the culture they expect others to carry. Great organizations must outgrow the capacity of a single leader. If every important decision still depends on you, you are the bottleneck. Use your influence and experience to develop people rather than control every decision, and you’ll build a more valuable and resilient business.

Looking forward,
