I have always been a huge believer in the inestimable value good mentoring can contribute to any nascent business

I learnt earlier on that If you can run one company.You can really run any company.A company is all about finding the right people and inspiring those people,drawing out the best in people

Learning and leadership go together. Too much credit goes to me for what we have achieved at Virgin but the successes happen from working and learning with some of the world's most inspiring and inspired people.

I believe in benevolent dictatorship provided I am the dictator.

I rely far more on gut instinct than researching huge amounts of statistics.
