Always Quote by Anne M. Mulcahy

“When you get in a job, the tendency is to say, 'I've got to know it. I've got to give direction to others. I'm in this job because I'm better and smarter.' I always took a different view, that the key was to identify the people who really knew and learn from them.” quote by Anne M. Mulcahy
