"If you try to control things, that’s self-limiting. The easiest way to think about this is that if all the decisions inside an organization had to roll up to the center of the company or to one person, it’s a massive bottleneck to progress. Instead it’s very important to establish philosophies, strategies and guidelines as well as have clear lines of accountability and responsibility inside the organization."

Michael Dell, Chairman of the Board of Dell as quoted from the Abilene Christian University Videoconference (Feb. 8, 2005)
