Greed and Capitalism

What kind of society isn't structured on greed? The problem of social organization is how to set up an arrangement under which greed will do the least harm; capitalism is that kind of a system.

Leadership: Hire the Best Minds,Don't Try to Be the Smartest Person in the Room

"I believe a great leader has better people working for them [who] can do their jobs better than [the leaders] themselves. I am very comfortable not being the expert and actually putting people who work for me forward. It’s not about me. It’s about the organization being successful."
-  Sandra Peterson, CEO of Bayer CropScience

- a leader who tries to “inspire an organization to achieve a higher purpose than just making sales and profitability targets.” She also prides herself on being very collaborative, but also has high performance standards. She urges her team to reach for goals – even those that they aren’t sure they’re capable of reaching. And then she helps them to actually get there.
