There are people who want the comfort and structure of a job where they're given tasks and told what to do. I think it's actually a minority of people. The majority of people don't want that, but I'd say that the companies I've built are full of people with something to prove.

You can manage 50 people through the strength of your personality and lack of sleep. You can touch them all in a week and make sure they're all pointed in the right direction.

My approach is that you have to earn the respect of people you work with.

Get five or six of your smartest friends in a room and ask them to rate your idea.

If you give people really big jobs to the point that they're scared, they have way more fun and they improve their game much faster.
