That’s Quotable [Robert Iger]

"I firmly believe in choosing great people to help run this company
and its large and diverse set of businesses. It can’t be about one
person. I have to be a collaborator not a dictator, when it comes to
running this company, even though a CEO has a certain set of
responsibilities, and accountability himself to shareholders and to the
board. It’s important to really find great people, and to enable them. And that’s what I’ve tried to do."

Robert Iger, President and CEO of Walt Disney as quoted on the Financial Times site (January 31, 2007)

    love the quote…reminds me about what someone once said and i don’t remember who, it might have been me, probably not…do only the things that you can do, delegate the rest and keep casting vision…to tag onto that, you can’t delegate ultimate responsibility.

    i’m getting my feet wet at this blogging thing and really want to learn. I have subscribed to your post because so many have and i am a learner and want to go in the right direction.
