Managing risk is very different from managing strategy. Risk management focuses on the negative-threats and failures rather than opportunities and successes.

If you're the smartest person in the room, it can sometimes be hard to learn to delegate - the person to whom you're delegating will do the task worse than you would - and it will annoy you!

The vision must be realistic - it has to be based on clear distinctive competencies. Again, what would the world lose if you didn't exist?

I like films about people who figured out what they believed and had the guts to act on it in a way that added value to others. So, there are lots of movies that have characters who did that. I'll pick an odd one - Stranger Than Fiction because I really liked the movie - particularly the offbeat cookie maker. You'll have to see the movie to see what I mean. The movie also reinforces that you can be the author of your own script.
