never try to be the smartest person in the room

No one is an expert in everything, the strongest businesses are built on the smartest people – not on one person. According to Brian Scudamore I've learned that strong leaders don't fight to have the first and last word. They listen to their teams, ask the right questions, and give everyone the chance to contribute. Instead of trying to do it all, find people who can do it better. With the right people in place, you can take a step back to focus on your strengths – like leading your team and planning your company's future.
