If you deliver you are ok, if not you became a risk therefore causing more problems and zero solutions. A Leader always form more leaders, than a team is stronger than a person. So it’s simple, hard and true. It’s not by chance that CEOs have been fired every day nowadays… it’s because it’s simple.
